Thai Court to Decide Luthra Brothers' Fate
The Luthra brothers, who own a nightclub in Goa, India, are in trouble because a fire at their club killed 25 people.
They went to Thailand after the fire, but the Indian government asked the Thai government to help bring them back.
The Thai authorities caught them and now a court in Thailand will decide what happens next.
The Indian government is working with the Thai government to make sure the brothers are brought back to India.
The brothers are currently being held in Phuket, Thailand.
The court will decide if they can be sent back to India or not.
Thai authorities detained the Luthra brothers in Phuket following an INTERPOL Blue Corner Notice and intervention by the Indian mission.
The brothers are co-owners of Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub in Arpora, Goa, where a fire on December 6 killed 25 people.
A Bangkok court is expected to determine the next steps in the case.
The Indian mission is in close touch with the Thai government regarding the case.
The brothers left for Phuket, Thailand, shortly after the fire incident.
