Wriddhiman Saha had dropped a huge bomb in mid-February when he accused a senior journalist of threatening him on text messages, soon after his Test omission. Following India's Test squad announcement for the Sri Lanka home series, Saha revealed that a senior journalist was asking him for an interview and also threatened him after he didn't entertain his messages.

Saha had shared a screenshot of the entire incident (i.e. his Whatsapp chat with the journo), which made heads turn in the Indian sporting fraternity. After much speculation, it was revealed that the journalist was Boria Majumdar. With the text row becoming a big headline and grabbing a lot of attention, BCCI intervened and took the matter into&nbsp;own hands.&nbsp;

After&nbsp;BCCI's apex council&nbsp;reviewed the probe committee's report regarding the Indian wicketkeeper, with regard to the journo's messages, the Indian cricket board has decided to ban Majumdar for two years on Wednesday (May 04).&nbsp;

As per the latest developments, the apex council of the BCCI has agreed with the recommendations of the BCCI Committee. Hence, it has decided to&nbsp;impose&nbsp;the following sanctions:

2 (two) year ban on getting any accreditation as a member of the press in any of the cricket matches (domestic and international) in India.

2 (two) year ban on getting any interview with any registered players in India.

2 (two) year ban on access to any of BCCI and members associations owned cricket facilities.

Boria Majumdar-Wriddhiman Saha text row: Journalist faces the wrath, banned for two years by BCCI

Senior Indian wicket-keeper batter Wriddhiman Saha on Saturday (March 05) said he had revealed it all to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)'s probe committee after alleging that he was threatened by an Indian journalist last month. Last month, Saha had taken to social media to share screenshots of chats with an unnamed journalist and slammed him for misbehaving with him and threatening him for denying an interview.

BCCI formed a three-member committee comprising of BCCI vice-president Rajiv Shukla, BCCI treasurer Arun Singh Dhumal and BCCI Apex Council member Prabhtej Singh Bhatia on February 25 to probe the allegations from Saha. The wicket-keeper batter met the three-member probe panel on Saturday and shared all details with them.

"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 his meeting with the probe committee.

Later in the day, journalist Boria Majumdar identified himself as the one accused by Saha and accused the wicket-keeper batter of doctoring the screenshots of the WhatsApp chats between the duo. Sharing a nine-minute long video on his official Twitter handle, Majumdar also stated that he will be serving Saha with a defamation notice.

Journalist Boria Majumdar accuses Wriddhiman Saha of doctoring chats, says will serve defamation notice

Senior India wicket-keeper batter Wriddhiman Saha has revealed the journalist who sent him insulting and threatening messages has not gotten in touch with him again or tendered an apology over his behaviour. Saha has refused to name the journalist for the sake of his family and career but is yet to receive an apology from the scribe.

The wicket-keeper batter had taken to Twitter last week to share a screenshot of his chat with the so-called journalist, who sent him insulting messages for refusing an interview with him. The tweet from Saha came just hours after he was dropped from India's Test squad for the upcoming series against Sri Lanka.

Saha was quick to find support from the entire cricket fraternity as fans and former cricketers united to extend their support to him. The wicket-keeper batter was urged by many to name and shame the journalist. However, he decided against doing so on moral grounds. Saha even took to Twitter on Tuesday to thank everyone for their support and explained why he won't expose the journalist.

Saha said he has never misbehaved with a journalist in his career and the threat he received was uncalled for. He also revealed he is yet to receive an apology.

“I am hurt with the message of the journalist. Neither have I ever behaved badly with any journalist nor have they misbehaved with me. But this was uncalled for. I wanted to expose him so that people know that the world of journalism has such people,” Saha told Zee Media in an exclusive interview on Wednesday (February 23).

Post this, Saha dropped a bomb by revealing how a 'respected' journalist has been after him and even threatened him after the veteran player didn't entertain his, or her, request for an interview.

After much hullabaloo, Saha took to his official Twitter handle and made it clear that he won't share any further details of the tainted journalist. He&nbsp;tweeted saying, "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.

"I thank each and everyone who has shown support and extended their willingness to help. My gratitude," he added.

Take a deep breath and name the journalist: Virender Sehwag reacts to Wriddhiman Saha's tweet

Wriddhiman Saha has warned the 'respected' journalist, who threatened him for not giving an interview, and stated that he will not take such a behaviour if repeated. He, however, has&nbsp;chosen to not reveal his/her identity this time around.

On February 19, Saha wasn't named in India's squad for the two-match Test series versus Sri Lanka, which gets underway on March 04 in Mohali. Following his omission, Saha revealed that a well-known journalist is threatening him after the veteran cricketer didn't entertain his/her request for an interview. Thus, the 37-year-old didn't hold back and shared a screenshot of his conversation with the journalist.

Back then, Saha took to his official Twitter handle where he shared a picture of the chat and captioned the post, "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."

While many former cricketers -- such as Ravi Shastri, Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh, Aakash Chopra, etc. -- urged Saha to reveal the identity of the journalist, the&nbsp;veteran keeper-batter Saha has chosen to not share any further detail but left a stern warning for him/her.

Thus, the 37-year-old didn't hold back and shared a screenshot of his conversation with the journalist. Back then, Saha took to his official Twitter handle where he shared a picture of the chat and captioned the post, "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."

He took to his official Twitter handle, on Tuesday evening (February 22), and wrote, "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," he added. 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.

Test axe to shocking threat from a journalist - The Wriddhiman Saha saga

Wriddhiman Saha was dropped from India's Test side as the national selectors announced the squad for the upcoming home&nbsp;Tests versus Sri Lanka, starting on March 04. Post his omission, the 37-year-old keeper-batter has remained in news. While he did share the details of his conversations with head coach Rahul Dravid and BCCI chief Sourav Ganguly, regarding his Test future, Saha made heads turn when he shared a screenshot of a journalist who threatened him after the veteran player didn't entertain his request for an interview.

Saha, on February 19 (Saturday), shared the screenshot of the conversation with the journalist and captioned the post, "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."

Speaking in a video on his YouTube channel, former Indian opener-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra has reflected on the whole controversy and lashed out at the 'respected' journalist. He said, "This person is some journalist. Because Saha has not said who he/she is, I am not going to speculate. The rumor market is extremely hot, a lot of people have made their conjectures. Whoever the journalist is, he is actually talking like a kidnapper."

"‘Choose the one who is going to help you’ - what clout you have that you are giving a threat and telling to choose him/her else face the consequences. ‘I will remember this’ - it is a threat. So much entitlement and arrogance. Where do you get this from? ‘This wasn’t something you should have done’ - this was the final nail in the coffin. It is an open threat given to Wriddhiman Saha here. It is my wish whom I talk to, who are you?” Chopra further added.

US President Donald Trump&nbsp;has become the first sitting US president to set foot inside North Korea when he crossed over the demarcation line.&nbsp;

Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un shook hands in the demilitarised zone (DMZ) that separates North and South Korea.

"It's nice to see you again," Kim reportedly told President Trump. "I never expected to meet you in this place."

About Trump stepping into North Korea, Kim Jong-un told&nbsp;"It's a very courageous and determined act."

Trump thanked Kim, and added that the two of them have "a great friendship".

It was a "great day for the world", Trump said after meeting North Korean leader Kim.

"It's an honour for me to be here," Trump added, as the two men talked with South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Seoul's side of the border.

"We met and liked each other from day one," Trump added.

Kim and Trump also had an informal chat amid the media scrum.

Trump said ''We are hearing from Kim directly''.

“You hear that voice, no one hears this voice, he doesn’t do press conferences,” he said.

Trump said he wants to thank Kim for responding to his Twitter invitation to meet.

“If he didn’t show up the press was going to make me look very bad,” said Trump.

“If you look back two-and-a-half years, before I was president, it was a very very bad situation, a very dangerous situation for North Korea, South Korea, for the world. The relationship we have developed has been so much for so many people,” Trump added.

“Thank you for asking me to step over that line, I didn’t know if you were going to ask me to do that, I thought you might, but I was ready to do that if you asked,” he added.

Trump called the meeting “very historic”.

Earlier Trump arrived Sunday in the DMZ accompanied by South Korean President Moon Jae-in.

After exposing him on Twitter, Wriddhiman Saha unwilling to reveal name of journalist who threatened him

Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag extended his support towards veteran wicket-keeper batsman Wriddhiman Saha after he shared a screenshot of some disturbing messages from a 'journalist'. In the screenshot of the chat shared by Saha, the journalist can be seen threatening the Indian cricketer.

"I don't take insults kindly", the journalist had written in a message to Saha for denying an interview with him. Expressing his anguish after being insulted by the journalist, Saha took to Twitter to vent out.

"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," Saha wrote in a tweet while sharing a screenshot of the chat. The incident came to light just hours after Saha was dropped from India's Test squad for the upcoming series against Sri Lanka at home.

Reacting to Saha's post, Sehwag extended his support to him and slammed the so-called journalist. "Extremely sad. Such sense of entitlement, neither is he respected nor a journalist, just chamchagiri. With you Wriddhi," Sehwag wrote in a tweet.

Saha also claimed Dravid suggested he should&nbsp;consider retirement as the Indian team management had informed him that he will not be considered for selection going forward. The selectors announced India's Test squad for the two-match series against Sri Lanka on Saturday with some notable exclusions.

Along with Saha, senior players like Ajinkya Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ishant Sharma were also dropped from the Test team.
