"If he felt so anguished on that day, he could have put out the tweet on 13th, when the message was sent. It was a day of celebration for him as he got a bid of 2 crore. But he waited till the 19th, when he was dropped from the team, doctored the message, manipulated it and put it out in a manner at 10:12 in the night so as to garner public sympathy and play the perfect victim card," he said in the video. 

Earlier in February, on the day Saha was dropped from the Indian Test squad for the Sri Lanka series, he took to Twitter to share screenshots of messages sent by a "respected" journalist asking him to "to do an interview with me". On not responding, the reporter threatened the 37-year-old, saying, "You did not call. Never again will I interview you. I don't take insults kindly. And I will remember this. This wasn't something ypu should have done."
