Members of an inquiry committee, set up by CM Mamata Banerjee, also visited the stadium during the same time. The panel is headed by retired Calcutta High Court judge Ashim Kumar Ray. Governor Bose urged the government to frame standard operating procedures (SOPs) for managing such events in future. He said all those responsible for the chaos must be arrested and the organiser must immediately refund ticket prices to spectators. Satadru Datta, the chief organiser of the Messi event, was on Saturday for 'mismanagement'.
