A Powai-based college student booked a table at the Andheri-based Immortal Club for a farewell party involving 75 college staff and students. After making an advance payment, one of the students visited the venue to check the arrangements, only to discover that the club had been shut for the past three months. When the victim demanded a refund, the individual refused to return the money.

The 22-year-old victim, a third-year engineering student residing in a Powai hostel, told mid-day that he booked the Immortal Club — located at Crystal Paradise in Andheri West — after finding the contact number on a popular food delivery application.
