The revelation from the investigation committee, headed by Justice Asim Kumar Roy (retd), came after its members inspected several areas of the field and the galleries at the Yuva Bharati Krirangan stadium for the last two days.

On Tuesday morning, Justice Roy held a press conference to update on the progress of the investigation. He said that they have inquired about who was in charge on the day of Messi's visit. Additionally, the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been suggested for the Yuva Bharati incident.

He said that a lack of proper supervision was evident in the entire incident.
