Gaurav Luthra and Saurabh Luthra, owners of the Goa nightclub where a devastating fire claimed 25 lives, have filed a petition for anticipatory bail in Delhi’s Rohini Court to avoid arrest.

The petition will be heard later in the day. Meanwhile, the Luthra brothers continue to remain absconding.

A blue corner INTERPOL notice has been issued against both of them as efforts to trace their whereabouts continue.

Other arrests include the nightclub’s chief general manager, Rajiv Modak, general manager Vivek Singh, bar manager Rajiv Singhania
