Delhi brothers Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra, owners of the Romeo Lane chain, have been detained in Thailand after fleeing India following a devastating fire at their Goa nightclub that killed 25 people. The fire at 'Birch by Romeo Lane' was reportedly caused by electric firecrackers during a performance, with deaths attributed to flammable decor, absent fire safety equipment, and blocked access for emergency vehicles. Indian officials are working to extradite the brothers, who face charges of culpable homicide.
