Messi brought to India, Shatdru in 14-day police custody

Bye Lionel Messi, right Shatdru Dutta arrested is being taken to court.

Shatdru Dutta, the main architect of bringing Argentine superstar Lionel Messi to India, was supposed to leave Kolkata for Hyderabad on Saturday (December 13) with him. However, Shatdru was arrested by the CISF and police before that. On Sunday, he was produced in the Bidhannagar Subdistrict Court. There, the court ordered him to be taken to 14-day police custody. While being produced in the court, the BJP staged a protest against Shatdru in the court premises today.

In the court, the government lawyer strongly opposed Shatdru's bail. He demanded that the accused not be granted bail in any way. The government lawyer wants information and evidence about who else is involved in this incident.

On the other hand, Shatdru's lawyer said that there is no need for 14-day custody in any way. That day should be reduced. Because Shatdru is only the organizer. He only organized the event. After a long hearing, the court ordered the accused to be remanded in police custody for 14 days for further questioning.

After the widespread vandalism and protests at the Yuva Bharati Stadium in Salt Lake on Saturday, State Police DG Rajiv Kumar and ADG Law and Order Javed Shamim had said that no one would be spared in this incident. After that, Sutdru was arrested from the airport. Kolkata Police registered a suo motu case. A case was filed at Bidhan Nagar South Police Station on charges of creating unrest, vandalism, spreading violence, subversive activities and disturbing public safety.

A case was registered against Sutdru under sections 192, 324, 326, 132, 121, 45, 46 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Cases were also filed under the MPO or Motor Vehicles Act and the PDPP Act (Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act).

Today, when the accused Shatdru was taken out of the prison van in the court premises, the BJP staged a protest. BJP workers and supporters started shouting slogans against him. They were carrying saffron flags and slippers. However, the police stopped them before they could throw the slippers.

However, DGP Rajiv Kumar on behalf of Kolkata Police said that a government-appointed committee will be formed to investigate the entire incident. Whether there was negligence in the management of the event, failure in crowd control, security arrangements, all aspects will be investigated. The police claim that a written commitment has been taken from the organizer so that compensation can be ensured to the spectators.

It is worth noting that Lionel Messi set foot in Kolkata on Saturday. His program was packed. Not only Kolkata, spectators gathered at Yuva Bharati, but also from different parts of the state. Even Messi fans from other states of the country showed up at the Yuva Bharati Stadium in Salt Lake.

The situation at Yuva Bharati changed within a few minutes of Messi's entry. The spectators complained that Messi was surrounded by VIPs. Messi could not be seen from the gallery for about 20 minutes. This led to anger. At one point, bottles were thrown. The situation became so heated that Messi and those with him quickly left the field.

After that, extreme chaos spread throughout Yuva Bharati. As soon as the incident was over, Sutadru Dutta was arrested from Kolkata airport. Now, the entire state is watching what comes out of the investigation after he is sent to 14-day police custody in that case.
