This is with reference to the news report ‘Absconding Luthra brothers finally detained in Thailand’ (TGE, Dec. 12). An excellent job has been done by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of External Affairs for getting the absconding Luthra brothers arrested and detained in Thailand, and ensuring their deportation to India in the next few days.
The Goa govt must now act swiftly and get to the bottom of the case without sparing even the high and mighty, like top govt officials and ministers who are responsible for letting the Arpora nightclub function without any permissions and NOCs, which led to the devastating fire and the death of 25 people.
Another 17 nightclubs have been identified as functioning without NOCs. Unless a few heads start to roll and a few more are put behind bars, we will only see a repetition of the nexus and a return to square one in the coming years.
