“Yes, this disclosure has come after five years, but it was made only after the media compared a recent incident (fight between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli) to slapgate. Sreesanth was fed up with slapgate. My brother is a very religious man and will not lie,” added Santhanam, who owns a music shop in Kochi.
