New Delhi: Kristina, the Kazakh national, who was performing a ‘dance at the ‘Birch by Romeo Lane’ nightclub, didn’t have the business visa to perform in India, the police said on Tuesday, 09 December 2025.
25 people were killed when a massive blaze erupted at the Goa nightclub ‘Birch by Romeo Lane’ on Sunday, December 9. The Birch by Romeo Lane is a popular party venue at Arpora village, around 25 km from the state capital Panaji, and it had opened last year.
A video was earlier circulated on social media showing the bursting of electric firecrackers and the blaze appearing from the roof of the nightclub. It shows Kristina, who was performing belly dance, and band members, rushing out in panic as the fire spread rapidly.
