Satadru Dutta is the main organiser and promoter of Lionel Messi’s G.O.A.T. Tour of India 2025, held under the banner A Satadru Dutta Initiative, known for bringing icons like Pelé and Maradona to India. His highly anticipated Kolkata event at Salt Lake Stadium descended into chaos as fans, frustrated by Messi’s brief appearance and poor crowd management, erupted in disorder. Following fan anger, vandalism and law-and-order concerns, police arrested Dutta for alleged mismanagement of the event. Authorities have promised refunds to ticket holders and launched inquiries to fix responsibility and improve future event planning.
