Sourav Ganguly’s phone worth INR 1.6 lakh stolen from Kolkata residence

Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly found himself at the center of a concerning incident as his phone was reported stolen from his residence in Kolkata. This occurrence has sparked discussions around security and the vulnerability of personal digital information.

The incident took place over the weekend, prompting Ganguly to file a complaint at the Thakurpukur police station. Ganguly revealed that his phone, which contained sensitive personal data and was linked to his bank account, went missing from his house after he left it at a designated spot.

Notably, ongoing painting work at Ganguly’s residence has drawn attention to the presence of workers, particularly masons. The missing phone reportedly granted access to multiple accounts and stored contact details of significant individuals, intensifying concerns regarding potential misuse.

Ganguly has appealed to the authorities to expedite efforts to recover the phone and prevent any compromise of his personal information. As the investigation continues, the focus remains on whether the stolen phone will be recovered and measures taken to prevent similar breaches in the future.
