Lionel Messi's three-day tour of India began in turmoil in Kolkata on Saturday. Fans, frustrated after failing to catch a glimpse of the Argentine star, tore up seats and hurled them onto the pitch when Messi abruptly cut short his walk around the Salt Lake Stadium.

The event's chief organizer, Satadru Dutta, was detained by police following the incident. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee apologized to Messi and called for an investigation into the chaos.
