Nightclub Fire Victims Demand Justice
A tragic fire at a nightclub in Goa killed 25 people.
The families of the victims are very sad and angry.
They want the people responsible to be punished quickly.
They say the nightclub staff tried to put out the fire with water from wine glasses because there were no fire extinguishers.
The families are having a hard time because they lost their loved ones and are facing financial problems.
The police have arrested some people, including the owners of the nightclub, who tried to run away to Thailand.
The families want justice for their loved ones.
Victims' kin demand fast-track trial and investigation into the nightclub fire.
Nightclub staff attempted to control the blaze by throwing water from wine glasses and bottles due to the absence of fire extinguishers.
Bhavna Joshi lost her husband and three sisters in the fire and alleges the nightclub management did nothing to extinguish the fire.
Eight individuals, including three owners, have been arrested, while Surinder Khosla remains at large.
Owners Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra were deported from Thailand and are in judicial custody until January 9.
