The Ministry of External Affairs has issued notices to revoke the passports of Gaurav and Saurabh Luthra, who fled to Thailand after a fire at their Goa nightclub 'Birch by Romeo Lane' killed 25 people. The brothers have been given seven days to explain why their passports should not be impounded, as the Goa Police pursue charges including culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
