Suvendu Adhikari Moves Calcutta High Court Seeking SIT Probe into Violence at Lionel Messi Event

BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari approached the Calcutta High Court seeking the constitution of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe alleged violence during a public event associated with football star Lionel Messi. The plea alleged serious law and order failures and political bias in the handling of the incident by the state machinery. Emphasising the need for an impartial and independent investigation, the petitioner argued that public confidence in the criminal justice system necessitated judicial intervention. The case reflects judicial oversight over policing and the use of extraordinary investigative mechanisms in matters involving alleged public disorder and administrative lapses.
