The two brothers accused of owning the nightclub where a devastating fire killed 25 people in Goa are set to return to India. Saurabh Luthra and Gaurav Luthra will land at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) on Tuesday, arriving from Thailand where they were detained.
Police Teams Ready for Custody Handover
Both Goa Police and Delhi Police teams will be present at the airport to formally take custody of the duo. The brothers are the owners of Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub in North Goa, the venue of the tragic incident. From the airport, they will be transported to the Patiala House Court in the national capital.
The Tragic Incident and Legal Process
The fire that broke out on 6 December at the popular nightspot resulted in one of Goa's worst tragedies in recent years, claiming 25 lives. The Goa Police will seek transit remand from the Delhi court to bring the accused brothers back to Goa for further investigation and legal proceedings.
What Happens Next?
This marks a critical development in the case, as the authorities move to bring the prime suspects before the law. The investigation is expected to focus on establishing the cause of the fire and determining any lapses in safety protocols that may have led to the high casualty count.
The case remains developing, with more updates expected as the legal process unfolds following the arrival and court appearance of the Luthra brothers.
