My nature isn't such that I will harm anyone’s career: Wriddhiman Saha on refusing to name journo
Kolkata: With cricket followers identifying who it could be, Indian wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha on Tuesday said he will not reveal the journalist's name who threatened him as he doesn't want to harm someone's career.
"I was hurt and offended. I thought not to tolerate such kind of behaviour and didn’t want anyone to go through these kind of bullying. I decided I will go out and expose the chat in public eye, but not his/her name," Saha tweeted.

"My nature isnt such that I will harm anyone to the extent of ending someone’s career. So on grounds of humanity looking at his/her family, I am not exposing the name for the time being. But if any such repetition happens, I will not hold back," he said amid one prominent name of a Kolkata based Bengali journalist who has wide access to BCCI corridors doing the rounds.

Following his fresh comments on Twitter, former Indian batsman Virender Sehwag tweeted: " Dear Wriddhi, it's not your nature to harm others and you are a wonderful guy. But to prevent such harm from happening to anyone else in the future , it's important for you to name him. Gehri saans le, aur naam bol daal."
