Police served fresh summons to Bengal's ex-sports minister in connection with a case related to the chaos at the Lionel Messi event at Salt Lake Stadium in December. The case stems from an FIR lodged against the former minister by the event organiser Shatadru Dutta, which accuses the former minister of black-marketing tickets, extortion, criminal intimidation and cheating in connection with the high-profile football event in December, 2005. According to HindustanTimes.com, Aroop Biswas had not complied with two earlier notices from Bidhannagar police to appear for questioning and had sought time for appearance, citing personal reasons. Officers served the third notice at the registered address of the former minister. The Calcutta High Court granted protection to Biswas from coercive action till August 17 and directed him to appear before the probe agency on a notice served at least 48 hours prior.
