Goa Fire: Luthra Brothers Deported From Thailand

  • Luthra brothers, owners of Goa's Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub where a fire killed 25, were detained in Thailand after fleeing India.
  • An Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad six months ago killed 241 people; investigation continues with AAIB and NTSB reviewing flight data.
  • IndiGo faced significant flight cancellations and government action due to new crew-rostering rules, leading to reduced flight operations.
  • Mexico plans new tariffs up to 50% on non-FTA nations, impacting Indian exports like automobiles and chemicals from January 2026.
  • US President Trump threatened tariffs on Indian rice imports, alleging "dumping," despite data showing the US is not India's primary rice market.

Why It Matters: Deportation of Luthra brothers shows accountability for nightclub tragedy.
