GOA: Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra, owners of the North Goa nightclub 'Birch by Romeo Lane, ' were brought back to Goa on Wednesday by the police, a day after they were deported from Thailand. The development comes in connection with the tragic fire incident at their nightclub earlier this month that resulted in 25 fatalities.
The Luthra brothers had fled India shortly after the incident and were brought back to Delhi on Tuesday after being detained by Thai authorities. In Goa, they will face legal proceedings and an investigation.
According to officials, Gaurav and Saurabh Luthra boarded an IndiGo flight to Phuket just hours after a massive fire engulfed Birch by Romeo Lane in the early hours of December 7. The blaze, which reportedly started during a dance performance involving electronic fireworks, led to a fire on the roof. The incident claimed 25 lives, including tourists and staff members, and left several others injured.
