Three senior officials of the online ticket reselling company through which the tickets for the December 13 event hosting Lionel Messi at the Salt Lake Stadium were sold were examined at Salt Lake on Sunday. The officials of the company had flown down from Delhi to Calcutta to be part of the ongoing investigation by the Special Investigation Team (SIT), said sources. ADVERTISEMENTThe SIT has been set up to probe the circumstances that led to Messi’s early departure from the ground. The cops had earlier written to the company not release any funds from the ticket sale to Dutta’s company so that a refund could be initiated. A senior officer attached to the probe said a list of people who were seen around Messi in videos and footage has been drawn up.
