According to sources, a central agency team has already reached the location where the two brothers — Gaurav and Saurabh — were detained by Thailand authorities last week. The duo will be brought back to Delhi on Tuesday evening after the completion of legal formalities in Thailand.
According to investigators, the brothers booked tickets to Thailand less than two hours after the midnight blaze at the night club on December 6 and flew out early Sunday morning. The two were detained by Thai authorities in Phuket following an intervention by the Indian Embassy. The Thai authorities took action as per local laws.
Both brothers were attending a wedding in Delhi when the fire broke. A staff member informed them about the blaze, and they immediately made plans to leave the country, according to the police probe.
Goa police had said the brothers booked tickets to Thailand within 90 minutes of the blaze. In a statement, the Goa police had said the investigation revealed that the brothers booked the tickets at 1.17 am on December 7.
By the evening of December 7, a lookout circular (LOC) was issued against them by the Bureau of Immigration at the request of the Goa Police. Later, a Blue Corner Notice was issued and the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), revoked their passports.
