Along with the two officers, the government had also suspended the then Arpora-Nagoa Panchayat Secretary, Raghuvir Bagkar, who was subsequently dismissed from service.
All three officials were suspended immediately following the Birch by Romeo Lane Club fire tragedy at Arpora, in which 25 people lost their lives. They were accused of allowing the nightclub to operate without the necessary permissions in 2023.
