Nightclub Tragedy: Owners Flee to Thailand Amidst Legal Scrutiny

Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra, owners of a Goa nightclub where a fire took 25 lives, fled to Thailand soon after the incident. Despite ongoing investigations, the duo booked their tickets to Phuket promptly after the blaze. Their anticipatory bail plea is set for Thursday in a Delhi court.

In a shocking turn of events, Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra, proprietors of the Goa nightclub involved in a devastating fire incident, hastily arranged travel to Thailand. The inferno, which resulted in the tragic loss of 25 lives, sparked an extensive investigation by local authorities.

Officials confirmed that the Luthra brothers utilized a travel portal to swiftly secure tickets to Phuket mere hours after the fire ignited at their nightclub, 'Birch by Romeo Lane' in Arpora, North Goa. At the time, emergency services were actively fighting the flames and working to safeguard the remaining staff.

Amid mounting legal scrutiny, the duo's efforts for interim relief were thwarted as a Delhi court delayed their anticipatory bail plea to Thursday. Their departure on an IndiGo flight to Phuket raises questions about their accountability in the tragedy.
