A Delhi court on Thursday dismissed the anticipatory bail plea of Saurabh Luthra and Gaurav Luthra, owners of the Goa nightclub where at least 25 people died in a fire incident on December 6, 2025. During the hearing, Goa Police told the court that the Luthra brothers had shown no cooperation during the probe and had also misled the authorities about when they left India. “There is no cooperation on the part of Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra, which disentitled them for extraordinary protection by this court. They have no business in Thailand. They left the country on December 7 but said that they had left on the night of December 6. Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra misled the court, misled the authorities and left the country,” Goa Police told the court.&nbsp;In their bail petition, the Luthras had claimed that they were in Thailand for a business meeting, had no intention of evading authorities, and were not present at the club when the fire broke out. They had sought four weeks of transit anticipatory bail so they would not be arrested immediately upon their return.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/tariff-war-widens-after-us-mexico-announces-up-to-50-tariffs-on-imports-from-india-other-asian-countries-1765454197194">Tariff war widens: After US, Mexico announces up to 50% tariffs on imports from India, other Asian countries</a><h2>Luthra brothers detained, to be deported soon</h2>&nbsp;Both Saurabh and Gaurav have been detained in Thailand and are expected to be deported soon.

Court denies anticipatory bail to Luthra brothers ahead of deportation from Thailand in Goa club fire case

A Blue Corner Notice is likely to be issued against Goa club owners Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra, who escaped to Thailand soon after a devastating fire broke out at their ‘Birch by Romeo Lane’ nightclub that claimed the lives of 25 people. For the issuance of notices against owners, the Goa Police approached the CBI on Tuesday, officials told the news agency PTI.<h3>What is Blue Corner Notice?</h3>The Blue Corner Notice is an international alert issued under Interpol’s colour-coded system, which allows member countries to share information and requests for information across borders. According to the Interpol website, a Blue Notice is used to gather additional information about a person's identity, whereabouts, or actions related to a criminal inquiry.&nbsp;The owners of the nightclub reportedly escaped to Phuket in Thailand on an IndiGo flight at 5:30 am on Sunday (December 7), just hours after the devastating fire killed 25 people. Following the incident, a magisterial inquiry was launched, prompting to formation of the committee that visited the site and called for all the essential documents.&nbsp;Meanwhile, officials also issued a lookout notice against the Luthra brothers, who were in Delhi when the fire in their Goa club claimed their lives. Authorities have also sought the assistance of Interpol to trace and arrest the promoters.&nbsp;A senior official told PTI that the brothers’ rapid departure indicates an “intention to evade the police investigation.” He added that immediately after the FIR was lodged, a police team was sent to Delhi to raid the accused’s addresses. "Since they were not available, a notice under the appropriate sections of law was pasted on the gate of their house," the official said.&nbsp;He also added that the Bureau of Immigration (BOI) issued a look-out circular by December 7 against both the accused at the request of the Goa Police. During the lookout circular, it was discovered that the two had already left Delhi for Phuket in the early hours of December 7, soon after the incident.
