It so happened that

It wasn't a nightclub as some sections of the media have reported. It so happened that Ravindra Jadeja was having food when some drunk Indian fans arrived and used four letter words. They asked the cricketer to find some other corner in the restaurant. This was vehemently protested by Murali Vijay, who was also abused," a BCCI source told the news paper Times Of India.

Please explain to me what "it so happened that" means here.
