Video shows firecracker started Goa nightclub blaze, killing 25

• New video footage reveals an electronic firecracker triggered the blaze at Goa's Romeo Night Club, killing 25 people.
• The fire spread rapidly due to the club's flammable bamboo and palm leaf interiors, trapping many revellers.
• Most deaths resulted from smoke inhalation and inaccessible exits, compounded by the club's lack of a fire department NOC.
• Police arrested club managers, and an FIR was lodged against owners for operating without proper safety permissions.
• The Chief Minister ordered an inquiry and announced compensation for the families of the deceased and injured.
