Fled to Thailand after blaze
The Luthra brothers had fled to Phuket in Thailand just hours after the December 6 blaze at the Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub, which claimed 25 lives. The deportation process began over the weekend after a court in Delhi denied them anticipatory bail.
They were brought back to Delhi on Tuesday after being deported from Thailand and produced before a court, where the Goa Police sought a transit remand to take them back to the state. The court granted a two-day transit remand.
Gaurav and Saurabh Luthra were detained by Thai law enforcement officials at their hotel in Phuket last week following a request from New Delhi. This came after the Indian government approached international authorities and issued a Blue Notice through Interpol in connection with the Goa nightclub fire.
