The medical episode came hours after the duo landed in Goa around 11am, nearly 11 days after the fire triggered nationwide outrage and a cross-border hunt. The brothers had fled India within hours of the blaze, travelling to Thailand, before being detained and deported following the suspension of their Indian passports.They were arrested by a Goa Police team at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport on Tuesday afternoon after arriving from Bangkok on an IndiGo flight. A Delhi court later granted Goa Police 48-hour transit remand, allowing the duo to be flown back to the state where the tragedy unfolded.Indian authorities had earlier issued emergency certificates — one-way travel documents — through the Indian embassy in Thailand to facilitate their deportation. Police said further legal proceedings in Goa would depend on medical advice, while the investigation into alleged safety lapses and criminal liability in the nightclub fire continues.
