New Delhi, Dec 15 (NationPress) Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra, the proprietors of the Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub in North Goa, are expected to return to Delhi from Thailand on Tuesday, as reported by the Goa Police.

Upon their arrival in the national capital, the brothers will be apprehended by Goa Police.

The detention of the Luthra brothers was initiated by Thai authorities following an INTERPOL Blue Corner Notice, which was requested by Indian law enforcement.

After their detention, they will be presented before a Delhi court to request a transit remand, after which they will be taken back to Goa for further investigations regarding the tragic fire incident at the nightclub.

As part of the ongoing investigation, police are also gathering statements from officials within the excise department.

Furthermore, statements from individuals linked to the local panchayat body are under review, with investigators noting that several significant and solid pieces of information have surfaced during the inquiry, according to sources.

Moreover, the magisterial inquiry committee set up to investigate the incident has questioned Pradeep Ghadi Amonkar, the original landowner of the site.

As per sources, the committee has summoned over 100 individuals to participate in the investigation, with statements from at least 20 individuals recorded to date.

Earlier on Thursday, a Delhi court denied the anticipatory bail requests submitted by Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra after taking into account the response provided by Goa Police.

During the hearing, Goa Police counsel Abhinav Mukherjee contended that the brothers had inaccurately claimed minimal involvement in the nightclub's operations and insisted that their travel abroad had been premeditated.

However, the police presented numerous documents to refute these claims, including an FSSAI application filed by Saurabh Luthra, a Pollution Control Board application, and GST records identifying both brothers and Ajay Gupta as partners in the nightclub.

The police further informed the court that the nightclub's Panchayat license had expired and was never renewed, highlighting that the establishment was operating unlawfully.

Additionally, a license agreement was presented as evidence, demonstrating that the brothers lacked the authorization to manage the venue.

The prosecution argued that the brothers booked their flight around 1:15 a.m., shortly after the fire erupted, departing for Thailand at 5 a.m. on December 7, a move described as an attempt to evade arrest.

Investigators indicated that the Luthra brothers fled to Thailand almost immediately following the nightclub fire, which tragically claimed the lives of 25 individuals in the early hours of December 7.

The extensive blaze, which engulfed the club near the Arpora River backwaters, resulted in 25 fatalities, including four tourists and 14 staff members.

According to police officials, the club's narrow entry and exit points significantly hindered many victims from escaping the inferno.

The fire broke out early on December 7 at the club, situated in the lively Baga area, which attracts large crowds due to its closeness to one of Goa's most popular beaches.
