Mohun Bagan were a goal down away from home against bitter rivals East Bengal on Dec. 9 when a stone hurled from one of the stands occupied by Bagan supporters—and apparently aimed at the referee—hit the club's midfielder Syed Rahim Nabi.
The match resumed after a 13-minute stoppage towards the end of the first half, but Mohun Bagan refused to take the field after the interval as Nabi, an India international, was treated for a fractured right jaw.
45 people, including seven policemen, were injured as fans disrupted traffic and stoned cars outside the Salt Lake stadium in Kolkata.
Some 85,000 fans attended the match at the 100,000-capacity venue.
The I-League committee is expected to decide Mohun Bagan's fate before their next match against Pailan Arrows on December 15.
