Messi's Calcutta event manager Satadru Dutta files complaint against Aroop Biswas

Satadru Dutta, the main organiser of Lionel Messi’s trip to India, including his event at the Salt Lake stadium in December, lodged a police complaint on Monday against former sports minister Aroop Biswas, a retired IPS officer, a serving IAS officer and others for allegedly entering the field without authorisation.

He went to Bidhannagar (South) police station on Monday night and registered a complaint, stating that he had earlier been threatened not to implicate any minister.

He alleged that Biswas and others had entered the stadium in a “completely unauthorised manner, which not only resulted in derailment of the event but also led to vandalism”, sources said.

Dutta had been arrested within hours of the fiasco and is currently on bail.
