ED Attaches Over Rs 11 Crore in Assets in Goa Nightclub Fire InvestigationPreviousNext

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached immovable properties valued at over Rs 11 crore under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in connection with its investigation into the illegal operation of the 'Birch by Romeo Lane' nightclub in Arpora, Goa. The probe follows FIRs filed against promoter brothers Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra and others for offences including a December 2025 fire that killed 25 people, forgery of documents, and operating without mandatory licenses. The ED alleges forged no-objection certificates and continued commercial activity despite expired trade licenses. Total attached assets in the case now exceed Rs 29 crore.
