Goa Nightclub Fire: Luthra Brothers Detained in Thailand, to be Deported
- •Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra, co-owners of a Goa nightclub where a fire killed 25, have been detained in Thailand.
- •The brothers fled to Phuket hours after the December 6 fire, booking tickets via MakeMyTrip and flying from Delhi.
- •Goa Police suspended their passports, leading to their detention in Thailand as undocumented foreigners.
- •They will be deported to India, not extradited, due to their illegal status in Thailand, which is a faster process.
- •Interpol issued a Blue Corner Notice; six others, including co-owner Ajay Gupta, have been arrested in India.
Why It Matters: Deportation speeds up justice for Goa nightclub fire victims.
