"I said that last Sunday, I don't know how it was construed or interpreted. I have said it earlier also, it's a terrible thing. Now the CBI, police are investigating the matter. It's very shameful what has happened. The punishment should be such that no one dares to commit such crime again in their life. That is important. Punishment has to be severe," said Sourav Ganguly, as reported by NDTV Sports.
