News India Live, Digital Desk: We often know Thailand as a place to visit, but today a serious news has come out from Bangkok. Two Indian citizens Saurabh Luthra and Gaurav Luthra are in the custody of the police or administration there. This matter came into limelight when the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) itself gave a statement on it. Questions were arising in people’s minds as to what happened? So let us tell you what the government has to say on this. Embassy took charge. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal made it clear on Friday that the Indian government is fully aware of this matter. The Indian Embassy in Bangkok is in constant touch with the Thai authorities. The government has assured that whatever legal or consular assistance he needs as an Indian citizen, is being provided. This means that embassy officials are meeting them and ensuring that they are treated appropriately as per the rules there. Why was the action taken? At present, there is a lot of speculation about the exact reason for their detention. But officially it has been said that the matter is subject to legal procedures. It is often seen in such cases that either there is a visa/passport related violation or the arrest abroad is due to some old case going on in India (like economic offenses or fraud). However, complete details are still awaited in the case of Luthra Brothers. Will they be brought to India? This is the biggest question. The Foreign Ministry has said that they are keeping an eye on the situation. If a major case is made against him, then there can be talk of his extradition or deportation through legal channels. At present, the embassy’s focus is on providing them with the necessary assistance and continuing dialogue with the Thai authorities. If you or someone you know is abroad, this news is a reminder of how important it is to follow the laws of another country, and the Indian Embassy is the first port of call in times of trouble.
