German-Italian DJ Stella Bossi had her Mumbai performance abruptly stopped on Friday night after police said she lacked the required licence. Bossi, who was performing at a club, said on Instagram that officials asked her to shut down her set just 50 minutes into the show.
The DJ shared a video of the incident on her Instagram account, showing police at the venue. She captioned the clip saying cops found the "OFF button" and ended her performance. The event organisers have not yet commented on the licence issue or whether they will seek permission for future shows.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Foreign artists performing in India need a No Objection Certificate from the local police and a performance licence from the relevant municipal authority. Mumbai's licensing rules require event organisers to obtain these permits at least 72 hours before the show. The police action, while abrupt, follows standard procedure when permits are missing. The club now faces potential fines or suspension of its entertainment licence. The next step will likely be a show-cause notice from the police to the venue's management, after which the organisers can apply for retrospective approval or face penalties.
