Satadru Dutta, the organizer of Lionel Messi's much-anticipated tour in India, has opened up about the chaos that unfolded during the Kolkata leg of the event. Initially expected to be a landmark occasion for Indian football, the event quickly turned controversial due to allegations of mismanagement and political interference. Dutta claims that despite following all necessary protocols, including extensive meetings with police and securing appropriate permissions, unauthorized individuals crowded the venue, leading to Messi's abrupt exit. He highlighted that the presence of a politically motivated sports minister contributed to the chaos, as he pressured Dutta for extra access and disregarded the established security measures. Following the incident, Dutta was taken into custody for 38 days, during which he felt he was unfairly targeted while those in power escaped scrutiny. He intends to pursue legal action against those who violated accreditation protocols and is seeking a defamation case against the government for the fallout. Reflecting on the ordeal, Dutta expressed regret for bringing Messi to Kolkata, stating that he could have chosen a different venue to avoid the complications that arose.
