Goa nightclub fire: This happens next after 'owners' detained in Thailand…| Luthra Brothers | Birch

Two brothers linked to the deadly Goa nightclub fire that killed 25 people have been detained in Thailand, days after fleeing India on the night of the tragedy. Authorities have begun the process of deporting Gaurav and Saurabh Luthra to face trial, while India’s Foreign Ministry examines a request to revoke their passports. The alleged co-owners of Birch Nightclub left the country as emergency teams battled the blaze, prompting a nationwide backlash and intensified investigation. Their lawyers argue they were only licensees and not involved in daily operations, even as five staff members have already been arrested. Goa’s Chief Minister says the inquiry report will be ready within a week, and compensation has begun reaching victims’ families as the state tightens safety audits across entertainment venues.
