New Delhi:
The two owners of the night club in Goa where 25 people died in a fire left India for Thailand hours after the incident happened on Saturday night, the police said today. Until now the police had been looking for them.
Immediately after a first information report (FIR) was filed against them, a police team went to Delhi to search the two accused – Gaurav and Saurabh Luthra – in Delhi. However, the two were not at home, due to which the police left a notice at the house.
The police requested the Bureau of Immigration to issue a lookout circular by Sunday evening. This was done. A lookout circular alerts the authorities at every point of entry and exit in the country such as airports and ports to stop those named in the system.
The Bureau of Immigration at Mumbai airport found out that the two accused flew out to Thailand’s Phuket at 5.30 am on Sunday, which placed the time just hours after the deadly fire incident happened. The two brothers were in Delhi when the fire broke out at their night club, Birch by Romeo Lane, in north Goa.
