Goa Fire: India's "Court-Ready" Extradition Case for Luthras Faces Thai Hurdles

• Goa nightclub owners (Luthra brothers) fled after a fire caused multiple deaths, benefiting from initial investigation gaps.
• Indian officials are building a "legally solid, court-ready" extradition case against the accused for deaths caused by negligence.
• The return of the accused depends on their legal status in Thailand; deportation is quicker if they overstayed or used forged documents.
• If the accused entered Thailand legally, a lengthy extradition process under the Indo-Thai treaty will be required, involving court evaluation.
• Thai authorities will scrutinize if the fire was criminal negligence or an accident, and a Red Corner Notice is not a binding arrest warrant in Thailand.
