Kolkata: The police on Saturday detained Satadru Datta, the prime organiser of the Lionel Messi football event at Salt Lake stadium here, following widespread chaos at the venue, which prompted the Argentine World Cup-winning captain to leave the field early.

Datta was detained for alleged mismanagement of the event from the Kolkata airport where he had gone to see off Messi and his entourage on their way to Hyderabad.

"We are looking into whether there was any mismanagement from the organiser's side, which led to the chaos at the stadium. He has been detained, and the police have now brought the situation under control," West Bengal DGP Rajeev Kumar said.
