Luthra brothers deportation LIVE updates: Gaurav and Saurabh Luthra, the owners of the Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub in north Goa’s Arpora, where a massive fire killed 25 people on December 6, have been arrested by Goa police after they were brought to Delhi following their deportation from Thailand. Officials said that the Goa police made the arrest after the Luthra brothers were brought out of the Delhi airport. Gaurav and Saurabh Luthra will now be produced before a court in the national capital before being taken to Goa.
The Delhi-based businessmen had fled to Thailand’s Phuket just 90 minutes after the December 6 blaze at their nightclub claimed the lives of 25 people.
Indian authorities had approached Thai officials, as well as international agencies, to seek the brothers’ deportation from Thailand. With the help of Interpol, the Indian government had also issued a Blue Notice.
Earlier, the Indian Embassy had issued two emergency certificates after the Luthra brothers’ passports were first impounded and later cancelled by the ministry of external affairs.
