Mumbai Excise Officials Stop DJ Stella Bossi's Gig Over Missing Licence
German-Italian DJ Stella Bossi's techno set at Mumbai's antiSOCIAL pub was stopped about 50 minutes in due to the organisers lacking a mandatory one-day club party permit. The Maharashtra Excise Department intervened after the event was relocated from the Cruise Terminal to Lower Parel without securing required approvals. Mumbai Police clarified they were not involved, though the uniformed Excise officials were mistaken for police. Bossi shared the incident on Instagram, assuring fans she would return soon.
