The BCCI Apex Council will review the probe committee’s report concerning India wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha, who had accused a journalist of intimidating him, at its meeting on April 23.
The BCCI had formed a three-member panel comprising vice-president Rajeev Shukla, treasurer Arun Dhumal and Apex Council member Prabhtej Bhatia to probe Saha’s allegation.
The 37-year-old India discard appeared before the committee last month and so did the accused journalist, and presented their respective versions. Saha had alleged that Majumdar intimidated him for not giving him an interview.
BCCI is expected to close the matter at the Apex Council meeting.
“Review of the Committee report on issue concerning Mr Wriddhiman Saha,” read item no.4 on the meeting agenda which is in PTI’s possession.
The journalist in question on his part had claimed that Saha had “doctored” the WhatsApp screenshots of the chats he had with him before putting it on social media, triggering a massive controversy.
