Sources from the Bengal team claim that the case started after a mutual discussion between Bengal bowling coach Ranadeb Bose and captain Abhimanyu Easwaran. While the coach and captain were discussing about the match on the field, Ashok Dinda felt that the coach was talking ill about him to the captain. As soon as the conversation between the captain and the coach ended, Dinda allegedly started abusing Coach Bose. It is also to be noted both the bowling coach, Ranadeb Bose, and Dinda do not share good relations with each other as they have had differences in the past.
