Legal Hurdles Delay Luthra Brothers' Return to India from Thailand

• Luthra brothers, accused in the Goa nightclub fire that killed 25, have been detained by Thai police.
• Indian authorities, including the CBI and MEA, are working to bring them back; their passports have been cancelled, and an Interpol blue corner notice was issued.
• Bringing the Luthras back faces legal challenges due to Thailand's strict laws and the brothers' potential to contest extradition, similar to the Nadeem Saifi case.
• Despite an India-Thailand extradition treaty since 2013, the process could be delayed if the Luthras pursue legal challenges, potentially taking 6 months to a year.
• Emergency travel documents are being processed as their passports are suspended, and a Delhi court rejected their transit anticipatory bail.
