New Delhi : A big revelation has come to light in Goa’s Gola Club fire case. Restaurant-bar owners Gaurav and Saurabh Luthra, who were absconding after the accident, have left India and reached Thailand. After both of them fled abroad, Goa Police has now started the process of seeking help from Interpol through CBI. According to the police, the accused had left India on the day of the incident.
Flight to Phuket caught as soon as fire broke out
According to the information received from the Bureau of Immigration, immediately after the accident, both the brothers flew to Phuket (Thailand) on 6E 1073 flight from Mumbai at 5:30 am on 7th December. After this information came to light, it became clear that both of them had already planned to escape and they were not willing to cooperate in the investigation.
Police pasted notice at Delhi house
The Goa Police team reached the house of the accused in Mukherjee Nagar, Delhi, but both were not found there. The police pasted a notice outside the house and directed him to appear soon.
