Saurabh Luthra and Gaurav Luthra, owners of the Romeo Lane nightclub in Goa’s Arpora, have been sent back to the country after being held overseas, marking a crucial step in the investigation into the deadly blaze that killed 25 people, with the luthra brothers deported to india.
Goa Police officials confirmed that the brothers were deported from Thailand and are currently on a flight to Delhi. They are expected to land at Indira Gandhi International Airport around 1.55 pm, where a team from the Goa Police is waiting to detain them. Officials said custody will be taken immediately upon their arrival at the airport.
A senior police officer said the Goa Police team will remain in Delhi to ensure smooth legal proceedings. The brothers will be produced before the Patiala House Court on Tuesday, where police will seek transit remand. After court formalities, they will be brought to Goa by Tuesday night as part of the ongoing probe following the luthra brothers deported to india.
The fatal fire broke out at the Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub on the intervening night of December 6 and 7. Investigators allege that a fire show was organised at the venue without adequate safety measures or firefighting equipment. Soon after the incident, the Luthra brothers reportedly left the country, prompting authorities to initiate international coordination to trace them.
Last week, Thai law enforcement officials detained the duo at a hotel in Phuket after receiving a formal request from Indian authorities. Their passports were subsequently impounded by the Indian government, and an Interpol Blue Notice was issued to track their movements, ultimately leading to the luthra brothers deported to india.
In the FIR registered by Goa Police, the nightclub owners have been booked under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder, endangering life, and negligent conduct with fire.
Earlier, a Delhi court rejected the brothers’ anticipatory bail plea, where they claimed they feared violence if taken to Goa. Authorities, however, maintained that due process would be followed strictly as the investigation proceeds after the luthra brothers deported to india.
