Kolkata Messi Event Vandalism: Court Denies Bail to 5 "Victims"

  • Court denied bail to five individuals arrested for vandalism at Kolkata's Yuva Bharati Krirangan during a Lionel Messi event.
  • The accused claimed they were victims of event mismanagement, unable to see Messi, and not perpetrators of the vandalism.
  • Prosecution opposed bail, citing injuries to government employees and police personnel during the stadium rampage.
  • The court remanded all five accused to judicial custody until December 22, directing police to submit the case diary.
  • Vandalism erupted after Messi's brief appearance, with spectators angered by poor visibility and alleged mismanagement.
