Panjim: A lookout circular (LOC) has been issued against Saurabh (40) and Gaurav Luthra (44), the owners of ‘Birch by Romeo Lane’ nightclub in Arpora Goa, by the Bureau of Immigration at the request of the Goa police.
The owners of the nightclub have fled to Phuket in Thailand after the massive inferno killed at least 25 people. A blue collar notice is likely to be issued against the absconding duo.
A blue notice, as per the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol), is issued to collect additional information about a person’s identity, location or activities in relation to a criminal investigation.
A magisterial inquiry has been launched into the devastating fire at a restaurant-cum-club in Arpora, Goa, which claimed 25 lives. Authorities have visited the site, summoned all relevant documents, and are investigating lapses that allowed the club to operate despite expired licenses, while the state government is extending full support to victims’ families, the press note said.
The massive blaze broke out in the early hours of Sunday at a nightclub in Arpora, triggering a high-casualty incident. The Goa government formed the committee to probe into the incident.
