Goa Birch fire: Luthra brothers detained in Thailand; CM vows to 'put them behind bars'.

  • Luthra brothers, Gaurav and Saurabh, wanted for the Goa Birch hotel fire that killed 25, were detained in Thailand following an Interpol Blue Corner Notice.
  • Goa CM Pramod Sawant vowed strict action against the Luthra brothers, stating police and CBI teams will deport them from Thailand to India to ensure justice for the 25 victims.
  • The devastating fire on December 6 at 'Birch by Romeo Lane' nightclub claimed 25 lives. The Luthra brothers are accused of operating without proper licenses, lacking fire safety, and organizing a fire show without precautions.
  • Another partner, Ajay Gupta, was remanded to 7-day police custody. Goa Police opposed the Luthra brothers' anticipatory bail pleas, citing their uncooperative behavior and flight from the country.
  • CM Sawant announced a crackdown on violations, with enforcement teams inspecting clubs and restaurants to prevent future incidents, emphasizing that such negligence will not be tolerated.

Why It Matters: Goa hotel fire owners' arrest ensures accountability for safety lapses and victim justice.
