BCCI is investigating the matter: Wriddhiman Saha on journalist row

Indian wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha, who has recently highlighted the highhandedness of a journalist, has said that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is investigating the matter.

Saha has recently tweeted the screenshot of his conversation with a journalist who had threatened him for not giving an interview. His tweet has gone viral and he has received support from many top cricketers.

In an interview with Zee News, Saha said that after his tweet, BCCI got in touch with him through an email and phone. “They are investigating the matter. I will cooperate with them,” he said.

Saha said that he was hurt with the message of the journalist as he has neither ever behaved badly with any journalist nor have they misbehaved with him.

“But this was uncalled for. I wanted to expose him so that people know that the world of journalism has such people," he said adding, “The said journalist has neither got in touch with me nor has he apologised.”

Saha said that he doesn’t want to disclose his name as it is against the principles that he follows in life. "I don't want to reveal his identity because these are my morals and I live by principles. I always feel that I should give someone a second chance. This is the second chance that I want to give him for the time being," he said.
