“Sourav is stable. He underwent angioplasty earlier this year. So as precautionary measure he has been admitted to Woodlands,” Snehasish Ganguly, who had also contracted Covid earlier this year, told The Indian Express.
This is the third time that Ganguly has been hospitalised this year after January when he was admitted twice after complaining of chest discomfort. Ganguly had actually suffered a heart attack while exercising at his Kolkata home and underwent a right coronary angioplasty.
20 days later, Ganguly had a similar chest pain, leading to the second round of angioplasty on January 28. During the process, two stents were placed in two arteries. Dada resumed work in March and also got himself fully vaccinated against Covid-19.
