Former Indian cricketers Harbhajan Singh,  RP Singh and Virender Sehwag have called out Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to ensure protection of players after Wicketkeeper batter Wriddhiman Saha shared a screenshot of a WhatsApp chat where he was disrespected by a journalist via his Twitter handle.

The 37-year old batter while sharing his post expressed his anguish at being spoken in an insulting way despite his contribution to Indian cricket. Saha’s tweet came after he was excluded from the squad for the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka in March alongside Ajinkya Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ishant Sharma.

Former off-spinner Harbhajan Singh reacted  angrily and urged Saha to name the journalist that threatened him, to save the other honest media persons from scrutiny. He also tagged the BCCI, president Sourav Ganguly, secretary Jay Shah and treasurer Arun Singh Dhumal and said that cricketers must be protected.

Harbhajan tweeted: “Wridhi you just name the person so that the cricket community knows who operates like this. Else even the good ones will be put under suspicion.. What kind of journalism is this ? @BCCI @Wriddhipops @JayShah @SGanguly99 @ThakurArunS players should be protected.”

 

“When it is about BCCI or cricketers, we hear so many ‘sources’ from all the journalists. Can a single source tell me who this so called journalist is who has threatened Saha? questioned Former left-arm pacer RP Singh on Twitter.

 

Earlier in the day, veteran batter Virender Sehwag also took the micro-blogging site to share his views on the matter. He wrote, “Extremely sad. Such sense of entitlement, neither is he respected nor a journalist, just chamchagiri. With you Wriddhi.”

On Saturday, during a virtual press conference, chief selector Chetan Sharma explained why Saha was not in the Test squad. “I can’t tell you on what grounds he has been dropped. That is for the selectors only. All I can tell you is that he was told before and was asked to play the Ranji Trophy, which is the ladder for playing international cricket. What we discussed between ourselves (committee members), we can’t tell you that.”

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
