Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Tuesday ordered that the Luthra brothers' Romeo Lane beach shack in Vagator be demolished, following a deadly fire on Sunday at their Arpora nightclub that killed at least 25 people.
This comes after a shocking revelation from the original owner of the land—that the nightclub is located on—that it was supposed to have been demolished long ago. Pramod Ghadi Amonkar became a whistleblower against the club in a case spanning over two decades, a PTI report said.
According to Pradeep Ghadi Amonkar, Surinder Kumar Khosla built the nightclub on the land, despite the deal with Amonkar falling through as Khosla had not made any payments.
The nightclub was then taken over by Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra.
