Correct Answer: he is coming
Solution : The correct answer is the second option.
The error is in the verb-tense agreement. In reported speech, the present tense changes into the past tense. So, in the correct sentence, "is" is to be changed to "was" to maintain the proper sequence of tenses in reported speech.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Binay said that he was coming from his village, Jaygarh."
