The police said 25 people were killed, including four tourists and 14 staff members of the club, in the midnight blaze at Birch by Romeo Lane at Arpora.
The fire at a Goa nightclub, which left 25 people dead, started after some firecrackers were set off during a belly dance performance, eyewitnesses said.
“We have been coming to Goa for several years. We decided to go to this club for dinner. A DJ had performed around 10 pm and everyone was dancing. At least 200 people were in the club,” said an eyewitness, who was at Birch by Romeo Lane when the fire broke out on Saturday late night.
