Thailand — Saurav and Gaurav Luthra, the brothers who operated the Goa nightclub where a catastrophic fire claimed 25 lives, have been detained by Thai authorities after the Government of India suspended their passports. The arrest marks a major development in the ongoing investigation into one of Goa’s deadliest nightclub tragedies.
Officials said both brothers were taken into custody on Wednesday, following a nationwide alert issued by Indian agencies. With their travel documents invalidated, the duo was intercepted in Thailand as part of coordinated efforts between the two countries.
Indian officials are now preparing to travel to Thailand to formally bring the brothers back to face legal proceedings. Authorities in Goa have been under growing pressure to hold those responsible accountable, as investigations continue into alleged safety violations and negligence at the night club.
