The BCCI doesn't want to let go of those found guilty of sending insulting WhatsApp messages to Indian cricketer Wriddhiman Saha as the India board has called for a thorough investigation.

Saha had openly criticised a 'respected journalist' for sending insulting messages to him after he allegedly didn't respond to his request of giving him an interview. From former India head coach Ravi Shastri to ex-cricketers including  Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh, RP Singh and Aakash Chopra came out in support of the Indian wicketkeeper-batter.

An official tracking the development told the Times of India that Saha is a contracted cricketer of the BCCI and the onus is on the Board to not let its own player down. 'If there's any kind of a nexus at work here, one has to look into it,' added the source.
