The fire is believed to have been triggered by indoor electric firecrackers that came into contact with the wooden ceiling, dismissing earlier speculation of a cylinder blast. Preliminary reports confirm that over 20 victims died primarily due to suffocation after becoming trapped in the unventilated basement area, with only three succumbing to burn injuries.

Goa Police have arrested four staff members — the Chief General Manager, Gate Manager, Bar Manager, and General Manager — charging them with culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

Two other properties of the hospitality company in Goa have been sealed, they said.

A state police team also left for Delhi on Sunday to search for the property promoters — Saurabh Luthra and Gaurav Luthra — against whom a First Information Report (FIR) has been registered, reported PTI.

The North Goa district administration has reportedly sealed a beach shack and another club, both part of the Romeo Lane chain, located at Vagator and Assagao, respectively.
