Sourav Ganguly, the former captain of the Indian cricket team, has called for a prompt Supreme Court ruling on the high-profile Kolkata rape-murder case. In his comments, Ganguly praised the justice movement in Kolkata and stressed that the court's decision should serve as a global benchmark and deterrent against such crimes.

"I have not read today’s Supreme Court order, but like many others who have participated in this movement passionately and impartially, I want justice to prevail swiftly. It is crucial that the court delivers its verdict as soon as possible," Ganguly told reporters. He added, "The judgement should set an example for the world, ensuring that no one dares to commit such heinous acts in the future."
