Goa Night Club: Crackdown on owner, know what is Blue and Red Corner Notice?

In Goa’s famous night club case, the police is now moving towards putting pressure on the club owners. The investigating agency suspects that the accused may leave the country. For this reason, the police is preparing to issue a Blue Corner Notice. But there is a question in the minds of common people that what are these Blue Corner and Red Corner Notices. Let us understand it in simple language.

What is blue corner notice?
Blue Corner Notice is an alert issued by Interpol. The police issues it when they need information about a person. Like finding out where he is at present, what are his travel records, or confirming his identity.

Meaning in simple language, it is a kind of notice to know the location. There is no direct demand to arrest the accused. It is only said that if that person is found in any country then his information should be given to the police.

Why is this notice issued
Many times the police do not have concrete information about the location of the accused. He may also go abroad or hide somewhere. In such a situation, Blue Corner Notice activates a kind of network between countries, so that information can be received quickly and reliably.

The concern in the Goa Night Club case is that the accused may leave India. Therefore, the police is insisting on finding out their location first.

What is red corner notice
Now let’s talk about Red Corner Notice, which people usually hear the most. This is considered to be the most strict and effective notice of Interpol. This means that the accused is being searched at the international level and if he is found anywhere, he can be arrested. If we understand it in simple words, it is an international request to arrest the accused.

After this notice, the police of many countries of the world catch that person and give information to the country which has issued the notice. Next, there is the process of extradition i.e. sending the accused back.
