Sourav Ganguly’s Family Escapes Puri Speedboat Flip

Sourav Ganguly’s big bro, Snehasish, and his wife Arpita, just survived a real-life action movie moment. They were chilling on a speedboat off Puri’s coast (May 24, 2025,) when the boat suddenly flipped right near the busy Lighthouse Beach. Sourav Ganguly’s Family Escapes an accident at a tourist spot which is always packed with tourists and wannabe Instagram influencers.

Both of them are Total champs. Swam their way out, no drama, no injuries. Didn’t even need a band-aid, apparently. People on the beach saw the whole thing and swooped in to help, but turns out, Snehasish and Arpita were fine they were just a bit shaken. All this happened while they were on a private vacay, probably just hoping for some peace.

Now, the local authorities are poking around, trying to figure out what the heck went wrong. Weather, dodgy boat mechanics, some rookie operator—everyone’s a suspect. Plus, there’s the big question: was this boat run by someone legit, or just some random guy with a boat and a dream? The investigation’s on.

People are already side-eyeing the whole water sports scene in Puri. With th all those tourists, you’d think safety checks would be a no-brainer. Life jackets, trained staff, boats that don’t randomly flip—basic stuff, right? But, as usual, rules get shrugged off when things get busy. Now, local tourism honchos are suddenly all about “better enforcement.” Sure, guys.

One of the officials even went full serious mode, promising heads will roll if anyone messed up. “Tourist safety is non-negotiable,” they said. Which, should be obvious, but apparently not.

This whole thing is a giant wake-up call—especially since it happened to someone famous. If Ganguly’s family can get caught in a mess like this, what about the rest of us? Experts are already shouting for tighter rules and actual training for the folks running these ocean joyrides.

Coast tourism needs to tight their security. With summer crowds about to swarm Puri, the powers-that-be better get their act together fast. Last thing anyone wants is another headline like this—especially if the next one doesn’t have such a happy ending.
