KOLKATTA: Mohun Bagan president and retired justice Gitanath Ganguly died on Tuesday afternoon following a cardiac arrest, club sources said.
An eminent lawyer, Ganguly, 83, suffered a leg injury when his car was rammed from behind by another vehicle in an accident earlier this month, a PTI report said.
Ganguly had to be operated upon but he could not recover fully. "In the morning, he developed chest pain and breathed his last while being rushed to the hospital," a club official said.
Ganguly took over as the club president after the Swapan Sadhan Bose-led panel swept the elections in November last year. A close aide of Bose, Ganguly was associated with the Mariners for a long time and was the club's legal consultant when Anjan Mitra was the general secretary.
