Goa Police have found that the Luthra brothers, accused in the Arpora nightclub fire that killed 25 people, booked flight tickets to Thailand while emergency teams were still fighting the inferno and attempting to rescue those trapped inside. Investigators say the brothers made the booking at 1:17 am on December 7—at the peak of the firefighting operation—raising fresh questions about their intent to evade the investigation.
