A North 24 Parganas district court on Sunday sent Satadru Dutta, the organiser of Lionel Messi’s “GOAT Tour” in West Bengal, to 14-day police custody, a day after fan outrage during the event at Salt Lake Stadium led to chaos and vandalism, even as the political slugfest over the incident continued between the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Dutta was arrested on Saturday, hours after Messi kicked off his four-city tour across India in Kolkata. The Argentine World Cup-winning captain's brief appearance at Kolkata’s Salt Lake Stadium descended into chaos as angry fans resorted to vandalism over alleged mismanagement and VIPs blocking their view of the football icon.
