Goa Club Co-Owner Faked Spinal Injury, Got Admitted. How Cops Tracked Him | Read

Ajay Gupta, co-owner of the Goa nightclub where a fire left 25 dead, tried to escape arrest by getting himself hospitalised, the investigators have told NDTV. Gupta, who has now been taken into custody, faked a spinal issue and reached the Institute of Brain and Spine in Delhi's Lajpat Nagar. The tactic, however, failed, and Gupta ended up in the police net.

Ajay Gupta is in trouble after the deadly fire at 'Birch by Romeo Lane', a nightclub in north Goa that he co-owns with brothers Saurabh Luthra and Gaurav Luthra. The Luthras fled to Thailand's Phuket hours after the blaze, and efforts are being made to bring them back. According to sources, the cops started tracking Gupta soon after the fire, but he was in hiding. By Monday, a lookout circular had been issued and the cops started searching Delhi premises linked to him. Police found that he was moving constantly and keeping his phone use to a minimum to avoid detection.
