Ganguly discharged from hospital after fresh round of angioplasty
Kolkata, Jan 31: Indian cricket board chief Sourav Ganguly was discharged from hospital on Sunday morning, three days after he underwent a fresh round of angioplasty to clear clogged coronary arteries, officials said.
The 48-year-old cricket legend was hospitalised on Wednesday for the second time in a month due to his cardiac condition.
On Thursday, two more stents were implanted during the surgery conducted by a team of doctors, including noted cardiologist Dr Devi Shetty and Dr Ashwin Mehta.
"Mr Ganguly is doing fine and his heart is as strong as a normal person. He had an uneventful recovery and we are hopeful that within the next couple of days, he will be able to return to normal life," a senior doctor of the private hospital, where he was admitted, said.
The former India captain is required to follow a strict routine and needs to be on medication for a few months, he added.
The batting great suffered a mild heart attack earlier this month and was diagnosed with Triple Vessel Disease. He had undergone an angioplasty procedure during which a stent was inserted into one of the blocked arteries.

BJP's poll campaign video targeting AAP shows roads from BJP-ruled Haryana: Alt News
New Delhi: With the announcement of Delhi Assembly elections, political campaigns are gaining momentum. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) recently shared a video on social media showing poorly maintained roads, claiming they were from Delhi under Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) governance. However, a fact-check by Alt News revealed that the footage was filmed in Faridabad, Haryana, a state governed by the BJP.
The video, shared on BJP’s official social media accounts, featured a caption mocking AAP's infrastructure development, stating, “It is hard to tell whether there are potholes in the road or the road is in the potholes.” Prominent BJP supporters, including Raushan Sinha, also amplified the video, criticising Delhi’s infrastructure under AAP.
Alt News identified a key detail in the video – a signboard reading "Thakur Udaypal Dharamshala." Using Google Maps, they traced the location to Faridabad. A close comparison of the video footage and Google Street View images confirmed the location, with visible matching landmarks such as houses and specific road details.
While the BJP claimed the video depicted Delhi’s roads, Alt News established that it actually highlighted road conditions in Faridabad. This revelation questions the authenticity of the BJP’s claims against AAP’s governance.
