Boria Mazumdar vs Saha Controversy Social Media Trial breaks a whole man says Sports Journalist via new book Banned A social media trial | Banned: Sports journalist Boria Majumdar put his bitter experiences in the book, said

Boria Majumdar vs Saha controversy: For the first time in two years, after the controversy that erupted with Indian cricketer Wriddhiman Saha, sports journalist Boria Majumdar has presented his side through his new book. His book 'Banned: A Social Media Trial', launched on Tuesday (April 23, 2024), details how Team India players had to go through a social media trial following allegations made by them and how they faced a two-year ban on sports coverage. But what happened to him and his family? The entire incident had affected his family mentally and emotionally.

Speaking at the launch of the book, Boria Majumdar said, “Social media trials break you. Thousands of abuse-filled tweets continued to surface for days, which were being pushed by a powerful person on the basis of lies. This happened because the man who played for the country and the national team forced me and my family to use every last bit of strength. However, it left a permanent mark.”

I was a stranger to my daughter then – Boria Majumdar

According to the sports journalist, “After facing the ban, I wanted to end this book, but no one knows better than me that there will never be a full stop. I will not get back the two years of opportunities that I lost or those days and evenings. When I was almost a stranger to my daughter.”

Journalist did not take Wriddhiman Saha's name in the book

Boria Majumdar has not taken the cricketer's name in this book. Explaining the reason behind this, he said- The trolling and insult that I and my family members had to go through. Whatever (expletives) were said about us, I do not want them to be used for anyone else. I have not written this book with a sense of revenge.

What did the journalist's wife say about social media trolls?

The book not only details the challenges endured by Boria Majumdar and her family after the incident but also sheds light on past conversations between her and the cricketer and the context behind her messages that were used against her. On the trolls and the tough times faced, Dr. Sharmistha Guptu, wife of the sports journalist, said, “I can only be grateful that my daughter was eight years old then. She was not 14 or 15 years old then to see her father being insulted on social media. The trolls did not spare him or me during that time.”

What is the whole matter? understand

This entire controversy related to sports journalist and Indian cricketer is almost two years old. Indian cricketer Wriddhiman Saha did not get a place in Team India for the Sri Lanka tour. He was even told that BCCI wants to invest in new players. In such a situation he can retire. As soon as Team India was announced, Boria Majumdar wanted to interview Wriddhiman Saha, after which he did not show interest. It was alleged that after this the sports journalist had threatened him. The cricketer had also shared WhatsApp screenshots related to this. After the matter gained prominence, Boria was banned for two years (on sports coverage). However, Boria Majumdar had said that there are two sides to the story. Screenshots of WhatsApp chats have been tampered with, causing huge loss to their reputation and credibility.
