The Additional Sessions Court in Mapusa granted conditional bail to the Luthra brothers, accused in the devastating fire at the Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub in Arpora that claimed 25 lives.
The decision has sparked outrage, with many questioning whether justice is equally applied. Critics argue that wealth and influence often tilt the scales, allowing the powerful to secure top legal and investigative support while ordinary citizens face harsher consequences.
There is also anger over how the accused were handled after being deported from Thailand. Instead of facing swift and strict action, they were kept in custody under heavy protection and allowed to pursue legal recourse.
For grieving families, the bail order feels like a setback in their pursuit of justice. The case has reignited concerns about delays and perceived inequalities within the legal system.
As the saying goes, justice delayed is justice denied. If the system cannot deliver timely and fair accountability in such a tragic case, it raises serious questions about where victims can turn for justice.
