Ganguly, Tendulkar face LeT threat
7 July 2001

Indian cricket captain Saurav Ganguly and star batsman Sachin Tendulkar are among those who have been threatened by the militant outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba.

The militant outfit has threatened to kidnap the duo and hold them hostages, DCP (Crime) Pradeep Sawant said in Mumbai on Friday.

The threats to the players came to light when some members of the militant outfit were apprehended by Thane police some months ago, he said.

Interrogations revealed that the militant group had prepared a list of persons who would be kidnapped to secure certain political benefits.

Former hockey captain Dhanraj Pillay had yesterday approached Mumbai Police seeking protection after receiving threats from the same outfit.
