A fatal fire broke out at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub in Goa, claiming 25 lives in the early hours. In response, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has initiated a magisterial inquiry to identify the cause and assign responsibility for the tragedy.
An FIR has been registered against the nightclub's owner and general manager, with both arrests imminent. This incident marks the first of its kind in Goa, prompting swift legal action.
