The Goa Tourism Department on Tuesday (December 9, 2025) demolished `Romeo Lane’, a beach shack illegally constructed at Vagator by the fugitive owners of the fire-ravaged nightclub at Arpora.

Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra, who are on the run following the fire tragedy at Birch by Romeo Lane club that claimed 25 lives late on Saturday (December 6) night, had constructed the shack on tourism department land, said a senior official.

Chief Minister Pramod Sawant had ordered authorities to initiate the process to raze the shack.
