Messi’s Kolkata Appearance Ended In Chaos
Messi’s Kolkata appearance turned into a total chaos at the Salt Lake Stadium on Saturday as fans alleged that they didn’t get the proper glimpse of the World Cup-winning superstar. They alleged that due to the presence of VIPs and politicians, they didn’t get a proper glimpse of their favourite footballer, for whom they had bought tickets.
Fans Demanded Their Money Back
Fans paid a hefty amount to see their star footballer. They paid between Rs 4,500 and Rs 10,000 for a ticket. Angered after not getting a proper glimpse of Messi, they started hurling bottles and damaging fiberglass seats. Police intervened to bring the furious crowd under control. Fans alleged that the supporters of the ruling TMC breached security and entered the field.
Amid the chaos, Dutta had to whisk Messi away from the stadium. After the chaos at the Salt Lake Stadium, Dutta was taken into custody at the airport as he was headed with Messi to Hyderabad.
