In the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) the lightest superpartner of the left-handed neutrinos is ruled out of being a candidate of dark matter because of its large elastic cross-section with the nucleus mediated via Z-boson. We resurrect it by extending the MSSM with two triplets with opposite hypercharge. The addition of the triplets not only play a role in generating small Majorana masses for the left-handed active neutrinos but also make the lightest sneutrino a viable candidate for dark matter. We then discuss the relevant parameter space in details which can give rise to the right amount of (thermal) relic abundance as well as satisfy the current direct detection constraints from Xenon100 and LUX. We find that sneutrino dark matter with mass 370-550 GeV can give rise to right thermal relic abundance while co-annihilating with the bino-like neutralino.
