- Saleem said that he did not eat mangoes
- Saleem said that he does not eat mangoes

Explanation
Saleem said that he did not eat mangoes.
When converting direct speech to indirect speech:
- The present tense verb "do not eat" changes to past tense → "did not eat."
- The quotation marks are removed.
- The conjunction "that" is used.
So, "I do not eat mangoes" becomes "he did not eat mangoes" in indirect speech.
