New Delhi, Jan 23 (.) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is currently conducting search operations at the residential and office premises of the Luthra brothers and Ajay Gupta, the owners of “Birch by Romeo Lane.”
The raids are aimed at investigating the money-laundering angle linked to the illegal functioning of the club and the role of its promoters, following the unfortunate fire accident in Goa that claimed 25 lives on December 6.
A senior ED official stated that searches are being conducted at nine locations across Delhi and Goa. These include premises at Outram Lanes (Kingsway Camp), Tatvam Villas in Gurugram, as well as the premises of the former Sarpanch, Roshan Redkar, and the Panchayat Secretary, Raghuvir Bagkar, in Goa. They are alleged to have facilitated and issued illegal trade licenses and NOCs.
Additionally, ED teams are present at the premises of Surinder Kumar Khosla to examine the money-laundering aspect arising from the illegal conversion of khazan land (salt pan) on which Birch by Romeo Lane was situated.
