Responding to criticism of him undermining the gravity of the horrific rape and murder case in Kolkata, former India captain and Kolkata resident Sourav Ganguly has now chosen to show his stance in a different manner. Ganguly – who had been slammed by many for allegedly calling the rape and murder a ‘stray incident’ – had stated on Saturday that his words had been taken out of context. Now, Ganguly has blacked out his DP on social media platform ‘X’, in apparent solidarity, but has prompted further varied reactions.
On Monday night, Ganguly changed his DP to black, captioning it with the hashtag ‘New Profile Pic’. Whilst Ganguly’s intention may have been to provide solidarity and show his support for the victim and the subsequent investigation, not all users seemed to believe so.
Many chose to call out the former India captain for such an act, instead of directly addressing the issue.
