A massive fire broke out in a night club in Goa on the night of 6 December. The new evidence that has emerged in this investigation is quite shocking. Night club owners Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra Brothers planned to go to Thailand at a time when there was a massive fire in the club and efforts were being made to save people. Flight tickets for Thailand were also booked.
Officials have confirmed that the Luthra brothers had logged in to the MakeMyTrip (MMT) travel platform at 1:17 am on December 7, while Goa Police and fire services were carrying out rescue operations at the Arpora-based nightclub. A few hours later, immigration records show that the two booked tickets for IndiGo flight 6E 1073 from Delhi at 5:30 am and left for Phuket.
Passports of Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra suspended
Goa Police has suspended the passports of Gaurav and Saurabh Luthra, the main accused in the night club fire incident. Both of them had fled to Thailand just hours after the fire that broke out last week, in which 25 people died. Officials say this is an important breakthrough, which will help in bringing the Luthra brothers to India. According to sources, the Ministry of External Affairs had received a formal request from the Goa government to cancel the passports of the Luthra brothers. Interpol issued a Blue Corner Notice against both the brothers on Tuesday (9 December 2025).
Family’s argument – the trip was already planned
The Luthra family claims in the court that this visit was not sudden but was pre-planned. His lawyer told that Saurabh had gone to Thailand on December 6 for work and to see new restaurant locations. The family says that both brothers want to return to the country, but want safety without arrest.
