Calcutta HC Grants Interim Protection To Bengal Former Sports Minister In Messi Event Chaos Case
West Bengal Sports Minister Aroop: A division bench of the Calcutta High Court on Tuesday upheld a previous court order by the single-judge bench of the same court granting interim protection from coercive police action to former West Bengal Sports Minister Aroop Biswas till August 17.
The matter relates to alleged irregularities during footaballer Lionel Messi's 'GOAT India Tour' event at the Yuva Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata's Salt Lake on December 13 last year, where crowd management issues reportedly led to chaos and the footballer's early exit due to security concerns.
The West Bengal government had recently initiated an investigation into the matter, as Biswas, the former Sports and Power Minister in the previous Mamata Banerjee-led Cabinet, was accused of being the reason behind the mismanagement.
