Luthra Brothers Arrested: The Aftermath of Goa's Tragic Nightclub Fire

The Goa Police have arrested Gaurav and Saurabh Luthra, owners of the Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub, following their deportation from Thailand. The arrest comes after a fire tragedy at the club claimed 25 lives. The brothers fled to Thailand, were detained, and subsequently extradited to India.

In a significant development, the Goa Police on Tuesday apprehended the Luthra brothers, Gaurav and Saurabh, at New Delhi's international airport following their deportation from Thailand. A dedicated police team was on site to ensure their immediate arrest after arrival.

The brothers, proprietors of the infamous Birch by Romeo Lane in Goa, were linked to a devastating fire that resulted in the deaths of 25 individuals. After the incident, they fled to Phuket, Thailand, but were detained by Thai authorities under police request following an international manhunt.

Cooperation between Indian and Thai authorities expedited the Luthras' return, aided by an existing extradition treaty. The Goa Police have officially charged the duo, accusing them of negligence that led to the tragic incident. They will now face legal proceedings in the Patiala House court before being transferred to Goa.
