The letter from All India Anti Corruption Committee was accompanied by pictures of dead men, indicating what Ganguly could face if he visited Midnapore. With elections coming up, Ganguly was scheduled to visit various districts of West Bengal to check cricketing infrastructure.
&nbsp;
A person called Z Alam wrote the letter in Bengali and sent it via Sky King couriers.
&nbsp;
It was addressed to Ganguly's mother Nirupa, saying, "If your son comes to West Midnapore, he will not return home alive." The letter arrived when Ganguly was in England. When he opened it, he kept the matter to himself. Finally, he decided to call up, Ashish Chakravarthy, a representative of CAB in Madnipore. Chakravarthy said he would look into the matter. While police are investigating the case, according to PTI, Ganguly wouldn't say whether he would give the January 19 trip a miss.
