Evening news wrap: Goa nightclub owners cry foul, seek anticipatory bail; DGCA deploys oversight team at IndiGo HQ and more
NEW DELHI: The Luthra brothers, owners of Birch by Romeo Lane, sought transit anticipatory bail in Delhi, maintaining their Thailand trip was work-related even as their Goa beach shack faces demolition after a nightclub fire that killed 25 people. Meanwhile, the civil aviation ministry moved to curb passenger inconvenience by deploying a special team to monitor IndiGo’s operations following widespread delays and cancellations. West Bengal also saw fresh controversy, with Sandeshkhali attack witness Bholanath Ghosh critically injured in a road accident that killed his son and driver - an incident his family alleges was a conspiracy to silence him.
Political tensions rose after Congress MP Shashi Tharoor declined the Veer Savarkar Award, accusing organisers of announcing his name without consent, a claim they deny. On the sports front, India continued its strong run in international cricket rankings, with Virat Kohli climbing to the No. 2 spot in ODIs- just behind Rohit Sharma- following a standout series against South Africa. Significant ranking boosts for KL Rahul and Kuldeep Yadav further highlighted India’s dominance across formats.
