Wriddhiman Saha Explains Why He Won't Name "Journalist" Who Threatened Him
Wriddhiman Saha on Tuesday took to Twitter to explained the reason behind why he is not revealing the name of the "journalist" who had sent "threatening" messages to him for saying no to an interview. Saha had, on Sunday, shared screenshot of messages he received from the "journalist" following the Indian selection committee's decision to drop him from the Test squad for the two-match series against Sri Lanka.
"I was hurt and offended. I thought not to tolerate such kind of behaviour and didn't want anyone to go through these kind of bullying. I decided I will go out and expose the chat in public eye, but not his/her name.
1/3- I was hurt and offended. I thought not to tolerate such kind of behaviour and didn't want anyone to go through these kind of bullying. I decided I will go out and expose the chat in public eye, but not his/her name
"My nature isn't such that I will harm anyone to the extent of ending someone's career. So on grounds of humanity looking at his/her family, I am not exposing the name for the time being. But if any such repetition happens, I will not hold back. I thank each and everyone who has shown support and extended their willingness to help. My gratitude," Saha wrote in a thread of three Tweets.
3/3- I thank each and everyone who has shown support and extended their willingness to help. My gratitude.
