Panaji: Following the deadly fire at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub, the Goa Police have intensified their probe to focus on the “misconduct” by the top officials. The IPS officers have been summoned for questioning over allegations that they actively shielded the absconding owners, the Luthra brothers (Saurabh and Gaurav), enabling the illegal operation that led to the loss of 25 lives.

This move comes after preliminary inquiries revealed severe lapses, including the club operating without a valid Fire Safety No Objection Certificate (NOC) and multiple regulatory violations. The investigation is now underway to determine how the Luthra brothers managed to obtain permissions from departments like the Panchayat, Fire Services, and Pollution Control Board.
