Sourav Ganguly has taken legal steps by filing a Rs 50 crore defamation suit against Uttam Saha, an official from the 'Argentina Football Fan Club,' citing false claims and derogatory public statements dragging Ganguly into the Lionel Messi controversy.

Alongside the legal notice, Ganguly lodged a police complaint, asserting that these unfounded allegations have damaged his reputation and mental peace. Saha alleged Ganguly was the key figure behind Messi's tour organization, which Ganguly firmly denies.

The complaint emphasizes that the allegations are without a factual basis and intended to undermine Ganguly's professional standing. Ganguly, a renowned figure in cricket and sports administration, stresses that his hard-earned reputation is being unjustly tarnished by these baseless claims, prompting thorough investigations by authorities.
