Indian wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha, who has alleged that he was intimidated by a journalist for not giving an interview, on Saturday said he has revealed all the details to a BCCI committee probing the matter.
A three-member committee met Saha here on Saturday to probe into the 37-year-old’s allegations against the unnamed journalist. ”I have told the committee everything I know. I have shared all the details with them. I can’t tell you much right now. BCCI has asked me not to talk about the meeting outside as they will answer all your queries,” Saha told reporters after appearing before the committee.
However in the evening, Indian journalist Boria Majumdar in a Twitter video identified himself as the one accused by Saha. Boria goes on to accuse the senior India wicketkeeper of tampering the WhatsApp chats that he had made posted after not being picked for the Tests against Sri Lanka.
“There are always two sides to the story. @Wriddhipops has modified and tampered with screenshots of my WhatsApp chat that undermine my reputation and credibility. I asked @BCCI for a fair hearing. My lawyer has notified @Wriddhipops of defamation. The truth wins, “Majumudar tweeted.
“I’m filing a defamation case on Wriddhiman Saha. He has doctored, tampered and manipulated screenshots. Earlier today, I have sent the BCCI all the details and I have emailed everybody in the BCCI the entire sequence of events. I have also tweeted my side of the story,” Boria Majumdar said.
Earlier, on February 19 Wriddhiman Saha posted a screenshot with the caption reading: “After all of my contributions to Indian cricket..this is what I face from a so called “Respected” journalist! This is where the journalism has gone.”
