The action of BCCI: Action on Boria Majumdar for threatening Saha, the board imposed a two-year ban

Journalist Boria Majumdar, who threatened Indian wicket-keeper batsman Wriddhiman Saha for an interview, has been banned by the BCCI for two years. The BCCI had constituted a three-member committee to investigate the matter. The committee had found Majumdar guilty in this case and now action has been taken against him. After Saha was dropped from India\'s Test team, Majumdar wanted to talk to him on the matter, but when Saha refused, Majumdar was furious and threatened to never do the interview.

What now after Majumdar\'s ban?

1. Majumdar will not be able to enter the stadium as a media representative during any international or domestic match involving BCCI and will also not be able to attend the post-match press conference.

2. Will not be able to interview any Indian player whose name is registered with BCCI.

3. Boria Majumdar will not be able to avail cricket facilities of BCCI or its affiliated members. This means that they will not even be allowed to go to institutions like the NCA and talk to any player.

You try to pick 11 journalists.\" Do what I think is not right. the one who can help you the most.\" Majumdar later wrote, \"You didn\'t call. I\'ll never interview you again. I don\'t tolerate insults and I\'ll remember it. You shouldn\'t have done that.\"
