Messi Kolkata Event Organizer Satadru Dutta Denied Bail, Remains in Custody Until January 9

The court extended police custody for Satadru Dutta, the chief organizer of Lionel Messi's chaotic Kolkata event, until January 9. Prosecutors allege financial irregularities, including Rs 23 crore corruption and unauthorized contracts, and argue Dutta is influential and a flight risk. Dutta's defense claims he has a history of successful event organization and obtained necessary approvals. The event faced disorder, with fans complaining about poor viewing access and VIP monopolization, leading to vandalism and a government inquiry.
