In this Special Report, India Today’s Anirban Sinha Roy tracks the chaos during Lionel Messi’s visit to Kolkata. While TMC VVIPs, including Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s nephew Akash Banerjee and ministers Aroop Biswas and Sujit Bose, enjoyed exclusive access, ordinary fans were denied a glimpse. The reporter highlights how frustration led to vandalism at the Salt Lake Stadium and a police lathi-charge. The transcript notes that fans paid between Rs 5,000 and Rs 50,000 for tickets, expecting a live view and merchandise, but received only ‘loud chaos’. The segment also covers the political blame game, with the BJP seeking the Chief Minister’s arrest and the TMC alleging a conspiracy involving ‘saffron flags’.
