Look Out Circular against Luthra brothers
A Look Out Circular (LOC) against the Luthra brothers was issued on Sunday evening, hours after they had flown to Thailand around 5 a.m. on Sunday. On Monday, the Goa Police obtained transit remand of accused Bharat Kohli from Delhi to bring him to the western state where the tragedy took place. An Anjuna Police Station official said that the post-mortem of the victims was completed on Monday, following which the bodies were handed over to their relatives, an IANS report said.
The blaze erupted around Sunday midnight at the club in the bustling Baga area that draws large crowds due to its proximity to one of Goa’s most frequented beaches. Meanwhile, four arrested individuals connected to the case were produced before the Bardez District Court late on Sunday night.
