These included office and residential locations linked to brothers Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra, promoters of the nightclub, as well as premises of some other individuals associated with the case.<\/p>\n<p>The money laundering investigation stems from a tragic fire that broke out on December 6, 2025, at \u201cBirch by Romeo Lane\u201d, a nightclub located in Arpora village of North Goa. The incident occurred while the venue was hosting a dance party. At least 25 people lost their lives, while around 50 others sustained injuries, triggering widespread outrage and calls for accountability.<\/p>\n<p>Following the incident, the Luthra brothers allegedly fled the country within hours and travelled to Thailand. However, they were later deported to India on December 17, 2025, and are presently in the custody of Goa Police in connection with the case.<\/p>\n<p>Officials said the ED\u2019s action aims to trace the proceeds of crime and examine alleged financial irregularities linked to the operation of the nightclub, including possible violations related to licensing, safety compliance and revenue generation.<\/p>\n<p>Further investigation in the case is underway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday carried out searches at multiple locations in Goa and Delhi after registering a money laundering case against the promoters of a Goa-based nightclub where 25 people were killed in a devastating fire in December last year, officials said.
