''Nobody Should Lose Their Life…'

“NOBODY should lose their life on a night out,” she said, stressing that conversations about making nightlife safer should continue without taking away from what makes the culture special.

Bossi also thanked her Indian fans for what she described as an 'incredible weekend' and signed off with a message encouraging people to look after themselves and one another.

Officials later clarified that the personnel seen in the video were from the Excise Department, not the Mumbai Police. According to the authorities, the event was stopped because the organisers had failed to obtain the mandatory one-day club/party permit required to host a large, ticketed event at the venue.

Earlier, the show was planned for the Cruise Terminal at Ballard Estate, but after permission was denied, the organisers shifted it to antiSOCIAL without obtaining the mandatory safety and commercial-event clearances specific to the new venue.
