In recent news, Sourav Ganguly faced severe criticism after referring to the brutal rape and murder of a female resident doctor in Kolkata as a 'one-off incident.'

As soon as his comment went viral, it sparked outrage and criticism, particularly because it downplayed the severity and frequency of such crimes. 

The doctor, a resident of R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital, was attacked while resting in a seminar hall after a 36-hour shift. This heinous crime triggered widespread protests across India, with renewed calls for enhanced safety measures for women, especially in workplaces.

But later on, Ganguly clarified his statement and expressed his support for strict punishment against the culprits. He also acknowledged the importance of ensuring safety for all, especially women. 

Ganguly said, “I don’t know how what I said last Sunday was construed or interpreted. I have said it earlier as well that (the crime) it’s a terrible thing. Now the CBI (and the) police are investigating the matter. It’s very shameful what has happened.”
