More about the incident at Birch by Romeo Lane

The nightclub, Birch by Romeo Lane, is located in the backwaters of the Arpora river, with a narrow entry and exit. On December 6, 2025, late night a deadly fire broke out, which killed many people, including staff and tourists. An eyewitness had told Hindustan Times that the fire started on the first floor of the club, where 100 people were present. Since, the club has a narrow entry and exit, it was very difficult for the fire brigades to help. Reportedly, they had to stop 400 meters away from the club. Later, another eyewitness recalled the heartbreaking mishap and told Hindustan Times:

"It started when a belly dance performance was underway. The performers used some cold pyro sticks which upon ignition leapt skywards and came in contact with the ceiling made of bamboo, fibre and straw-type material. This caused some sparks and fumes on the roof and within a few minutes, the whole place was burning."

Who is the owner of Birch by Romeo Lane?

It is worth mentioning that the owner of Birch by Romeo Lane is Saurabh Luthra. Saurabh earned a B.Tech degree from Saurashtra University. Reportedly, he also worked in corporate business development for clients. Later, he founded the Romeo Lane group and one of its projects was Birch. After the tragic incident, multiple questions have been raised on Saurabh. Some also claim that he built the club without permission. 

We offer all the strength to the families of the deceased in these tough times.
