Following his arrival, Messi headed to the Taj Hotel in Colaba for a short rest before proceeding to the Cricket Club of India’s Brabourne Stadium.
There, he is scheduled to attend a Padel GOAT Club event, which will be followed by a celebrity football match later in the afternoon.
Messi, who is accompanied by Inter Miami teammates Luis Suarez and Rodrigo de Paul, is expected to reach the iconic Wankhede Stadium around 5 pm for the main highlight of the Mumbai leg of the tour.
Fans have been gathering in large numbers, hoping to catch a glimpse of the football icon.
In view of the anticipated crowd, Mumbai Police have enforced stringent security measures at both venues. Restrictions have been imposed on carrying water bottles, metal items and coins inside the stadiums, while watchtowers have been installed to closely monitor crowd movement.
More than 2,000 police personnel have been deployed in and around Brabourne and Wankhede stadiums to ensure smooth conduct of the events.
A senior police official said,
“The arrangements were strengthened after the disruption witnessed during the Kolkata leg of the tour.”
The official said,
“Considering the chaos that prevailed in Kolkata and the security breach reported there, we have put in place World Cup-level security arrangements in Mumbai.”
Messi had arrived in India in the early hours of Saturday, but his Kolkata appearance later that day was marred by overcrowding and poor crowd management. In contrast, the Hyderabad leg of the tour went off smoothly, offering a reassuring experience for fans and organisers alike.

Police Investigation and Evidence Collection
Following the incident, the Crime Branch initiated a detailed investigation into the case. The weapon found in Arya’s possession was seized and sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory to determine whether he had fired any shots. Officials also gathered additional evidence from the scene, including a suspicious cloth with a strong odor that investigators suspect might have been soaked in a chemical intended for arson. The team is now speaking with individuals associated with the project to understand Arya’s possible motives.
Background of the Hostage-Taker
Preliminary findings reveal that Arya, originally from Anand in Gujarat, had been living in Pune before relocating to Mumbai two months prior to the event. He was married and had a ten-year-old son. At the time of the incident, his wife was in Ahmedabad. Since no immediate family members were available in Mumbai, Arya’s body was kept at the state-run J J Hospital until his relatives arrived for the postmortem examination.

]]>The post Bailable warrant has been issued against Param Bir Singh appeared first on The Edge Media.
]]>The Maharashtra government had formed the one-person commission in March to probe the allegations levelled by Param Bir Singh against former state home minister Anil Deshmukh. In a letter to chief minister Uddhav Thackeray, Singh had accused Deshmukh of asking police officers in Mumbai to collect money from restaurant and bar owners.
The commission was given six months to determine if the allegations levelled by Singh needed to be investigated by the state anti-corruption bureau, if he had submitted sufficient proof to establish that Deshmukh or any staffer from his office committed any misconduct as alleged in the letter, and to offer any suggestions the commission deemed fit. Singh had filed an appeal before the Bombay high court on August 4 seeking orders to disband the commission.
In his appeal, Singh stated that since both the Supreme Court and the Bombay high court ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to conduct a probe into Singh’s allegations on Deshmukh there was no need for the Chandiwal commission to continue with their inquiry.
The Chandiwal commission had issued summons to Singh multiple times but he failed to appear before it. The commission had also imposed penalties of Rs.5,000 in June and of Rs.25,000 twice last month on Singh for failing to appear before it.
Four First Information Reports (FIR) have been filed against Singh, of which two have been filed in Mumbai and two in Thane. On August 21, the fourth FIR was registered against Singh by the Mumbai police on the basis of a complaint filed by a businessman accusing Singh of extortion. A lookout notice has also been issued against Singh by the Thane police to prevent him from leaving the country.
