Lionel Messi’s team has blamed the former West Bengal Sports Minister Aroop Biswas for the Kolkata Stadium chaos during his ‘GOAT India Tour’ in December last year. After that event made headlines for all the wrong reasons, members of Messi’s team have reportedly approached the Bidhannagar Police Commissionerate and raised formal complaints.&nbsp;According to a Bidhannagar Police official, a member of Messi’s entourage that travelled with him during his second visit to India wrote an email to the Police Commissioner Tripurari Atharv, stating that the situation inside the venue only got out of control after Biswas entered the playing area. The complaint lodged also alleged that the then-Sports Minister repeatedly touched Messi on his shoulder and waist while attempting to take photographs with him.&nbsp;In Pics| <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/most-goals-matches-minutes-played-5-records-lionel-messi-broke-with-maiden-world-cup-hat-trick-against-algeria-fifa-world-cup-2026-kansas-city-1781706679486">Most Goals, Matches, Minutes Played: 5 Records Messi broke with Maiden World Cup hat-trick</a> &nbsp;Several of Biswas’ associates also entered the arena despite not having authorisation to access it.
