Overview

• In new comments, Singh said Modi may have been “under the influence of alcohol” when choosing to air the long-shelved footage.
• He called the publication unnecessary, reiterated prior apologies to S. Sreesanth, and said he would not have allowed such a video to be released.
• The video shows the then Mumbai Indians captain striking Sreesanth during post‑match handshakes in IPL 2008, an incident that led to a season suspension and a later five‑ODI ban.
• Sreesanth’s wife, Bhuvneshwari, condemned the posting as heartless and accused Modi and Clarke of seeking publicity.
• Veteran broadcaster Harsha Bhogle said those present in 2008 had agreed to keep the clip private, and there has been no indication of new BCCI action.
