Police Trace Abusive Posts After Sourav Ganguly wife Dona Ganguly’s Kolkata Film Festival Dance
Right now, the officers at Thakurpukur police station are tracking the abusive posts step by step. One police officer said that Sourav Ganguly wife Dona Ganguly had clearly told them that the posts were written to “tarnish her honour.” The officer also said the screenshots she submitted are very important evidence in the case.
The abuse started only after she danced at the Kolkata Film Festival, and that is why the Facebook page caught the police’s attention. The officer explained that they are checking the page activity, the posts shared, and the mobile number linked to it to find out who was spreading the hate.
Police teams are now speaking to tech teams to trace the number and see where it leads. They said they will question the people once they find them. Officers also said that online abuse cases are taken very seriously, especially when a person’s name and honour are attacked in public.
For now, the police have not revealed any names because the investigation is still going on. They have only said that they are working quickly and will act once they find the people behind the posts.
