Legal proceedings regarding Goa nightclub fire

Overview

The Bombay High Court's Goa bench cancelled the bail of Saurabh Luthra, Gaurav Luthra, and Ajay Gupta, the co-owners of the Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub. The court ordered the individuals to surrender within two weeks, though they may file fresh bail applications with the trial court following an appeal by the Goa government.

The legal proceedings relate to a fatal fire at the Arpora, North Goa, nightclub that occurred between December 6 and 7, 2025. The incident resulted in 25 deaths and over 50 injuries. Investigations into the blaze have involved allegations of illegal construction, forged licenses, inadequate fire-safety measures, and the use of locked exits that obstructed evacuation.
