    The Central Industrial Security Force: Confusion over claims and counter claims on who provided security to football legend Lionel Messi during his visit to Kolkata late last week which ended in fans storming the pitch and indulging in vandalism after failing to see him properly.

    The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) on Tuesday rejected the claim made by West Bengal Minister Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay that it had provided security cover to the footballer.

    The official account of CISF in an X post said, "It is hereby clarified that the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) did not provide any security cover to the footballer Lionel Messi during his visit to Kolkata. The security arrangements for the visit were undertaken by other designated agencies."
