New Delhi. A major accident happened today with the brother and sister -in -law of former Indian cricket team captain Sourav Ganguly, although his life was saved. Snehashish Ganguly went to Puri with his wife Arpita Ganguly. Here he was riding in a speedboat in the sea which overturned. However, in time, the team of Coast Guard stationed there saved both of them from drowning and brought them to safe edge. It is being told that as soon as Snehashish and Arpita rode on the speedboat, suddenly high waves started to rise in the sea. Because of this the speedboat overturned uncontrollably. It was a matter of honor that the accident happened near the beach.
