Thai Authorities deport Luthra brothers to India

BANGKOK: (Dec 16) Thailand authorities on Tuesday deported Gaurav Luthra and Saurabh Luthra, co-owners of the Goa nightclub where 25 people were killed in a fire on December 6, to India.

The deportation comes amid an ongoing probe into the deadly blaze, which triggered widespread outrage and led to scrutiny over alleged safety violations and lapses by the nightclub management.

The Luthras, co-owners of ‘Birch by Romeo Lane’ nightclub located in Arpora in North Goa, left for Phuket in Thailand, shortly after the fire incident. An Interpol Blue Corner Notice was issued against them.
