Lionel Messi's first stop on his India tour turned chaotic at Kolkata's Salt Lake stadium. Fans had paid up to 12,000 rupees to see the football star. However, Messi was hidden behind many officials and security guards. After about 20 minutes, security quickly took him away. This upset many fans, who then became hostile. They ripped stadium seats and threw water bottles onto the pitch. West Bengal's Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said she was "deeply disturbed and shocked" by the events. The fans' anger was clear after they felt disappointed with the brief and obscured Messi appearance.
