Goa fire: Luthra brothers deported from Thailand, not extradited

  • Luthra brothers, Gaurav and Saurabh, detained in Phuket, Thailand, after fleeing India following a Goa nightclub fire.
  • The fire at their 'Birch by Romeo Lane' nightclub killed 25 people; electric firecrackers are suspected as the cause.
  • India suspended the brothers' passports, leading to their detention in Thailand as undocumented foreigners.
  • They will be deported to India to face charges like culpable homicide, as their undocumented status allows for quicker removal than extradition.

Why It Matters: Deportation bypasses extradition, speeding justice for fire victims.
