Messi Tour Case: Bengal Ex-sports Minister Remains Elusive As Police Serve Third Notice
Former West Bengal Sports Minister: Former West Bengal Sports Minister Aroop Biswas has once again been summoned by police in connection with the alleged mismanagement and financial irregularities linked to Lionel Messi's GOAT India Tour event held on December 14 last year.
According to police officials on Saturday, the Bidhannagar South Police Station has issued a fresh notice directing Biswas to appear before investigators within 48 hours of receiving the summons. This is the third notice served on the former minister in the case. Aroop Biswas has reportedly gone into hiding following the police move.
Police sources said Biswas, a senior Trinamool Congress leader, has so far failed to comply with earlier summonses. Investigators are now awaiting his response to the latest notice, which comes amid reports that he has remained unavailable to police officials.
