Goa Fire: MEA issues 7-day notice to Luthra brothers to impound passports

• MEA issued 7-day notices to Luthra brothers to explain why their passports shouldn't be impounded after a Goa nightclub fire killed 25 people.
• The brothers, Gaurav and Saurabh Luthra, fled to Thailand hours after the fire at 'Birch by Romeo Lane' in Arpora.
• Goa Police requested the passport cancellation and filed an FIR against the brothers for culpable homicide not amounting to murder and conspiracy.
• The Regional Passport Office in Delhi cited an adverse police verification report for the impounding notice.
• A portion of another Luthra-owned club, 'Romeo Lane' in Vagator, was also demolished by officials in Goa.
