The police detained Satadru Datta, the prime organiser of the Lionel Messi football event at Salt Lake stadium on Saturday.Chaos erupted at the stadium after spectators, who had paid hefty sums to see Argentine football icon Lionel Messi, protested after being unable to catch a clear glimpse of the legend as he remained surrounded by security personnel and others.The situation prompted the Argentine World Cup-winning captain to leave the field early.Datta was detained for alleged mismanagement of the event at the Kolkata airport, where he had gone to see off Messi and his entourage on their way to Hyderabad.”We are looking into whether there was any mismanagement from the organiser’s side, which led to the chaos at the stadium. He has been detained, and the police have now brought the situation under control,” West Bengal DGP Rajeev Kumar told PTI.The organiser has given in writing that he will refund the prices of tickets he sold to the disappointed spectators, Kumar added.Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said she was shocked and deeply disturbed by the mismanagement and announced a high-level probe into the incident.
