Majumdar vs Saha Controversy
In February 19, Saha posted a screenshot of WhatsApp chat on twitter, and he wrote, “After all of my contribution to the Indian cricket…this is what I face from a “Respected” journalist! This is where the journalism has gone.”
One of the messages include a threat-like sentence which read as “You did not call. Never again will I interview you. I don’t take insults kindly. And I will remember this.”
Saha later identified Boria Majumdar is the one who “bullied” him for an interview. At the same time, Majumdar came out through a twitter video accusing Saha for “doctoring” the screenshot. However, the cricketer got immense support from the cricket world including the former Indian cricketer Virendra Sewhag.
