On 9th of February, Mirza was issued a notice by Hyderabad tax department over non-payment/tax evasion on Rs 1 crore which she received from Telangana government and was ordered to answer all summons through authorized agent or in person. Sania’s accountant appeared on her behalf for clarifying the issue and said that it was her training incentive.
However, Sania Mirza seems to have lost her cool after seeing the way media has covered this issue. Yes, she slammed the media for focusing on negative issues instead of covering her entry into Qatar Open’s semifinals.
On Friday, Barbora Strycova (Czech Republic) and Mirza entered the women’s doubles last four-stage and will play against Abigail Spears (America) and Srebotnik (Slovenia).
In a series of tweets, Sania Mirza bashed the media for not concentrating on the “GOOD PART”. Check out her tweets…

As to what's going on 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I think is pretty clear negative news sells a lot more than positive news or achievements I guess!!

Many a times, media is just interested in covering masala types news; least interest is shown in positive achievements, don’t you feel the same? It’s high time, media should start reporting neutrally.
