An examination of corporate records has uncovered a network of 42 companies linked to Delhi-based restaurateurs Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra, the brothers at the centre of the Goa nightclub fire that killed 25 people on December 6. The findings have raised questions about the scale and structure of the brothers' business operations, their financial practices, and the credibility of their corporate claims, including claims of a global footprint that, on paper, appears unsubstantiated.
The revelations come amid a criminal investigation into the fire at Birch by Romeo Lane, the Luthras' Goa nightclub, and the brothers' subsequent flight to Thailand within hours of the blaze.
