Suvendu Adhikari moves Calcutta HC for SIT probe into Messi event violence

• BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari moved Calcutta High Court seeking an impartial probe into violence at a Lionel Messi event on December 13, 2025.
• Adhikari alleges administrative failure, safety lapses, and misuse of state resources for the event.
• He demands a court-monitored Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe, along with ticket refunds and compensation for spectators.
• Two other PILs also seek investigation by central agencies (CBI, ED, SFIO) over potential financial irregularities.
• The violence stemmed from spectator frustration due to Messi's brief appearance and preferential entry for VVIPs.

Why It Matters: It questions state accountability and potential financial fraud in managing a major event.
