Also, say you were able to go to Mexico and fly home to India, what then? Your assets are probably going to be frozen (unless you stashed it in crypto), and India has extradition treaties with the US, are you going to be on the run for the rest of your life?

Well yes there are treaties but you get to fight extradition in an Indian court where the hometown decisions may not go against you they way they seem to in US courts. If you find yourself caught in a battle, engage where you have the high ground is a good idea compared to running into the chokepoint to engage there.

I'm saying this while saying nothing at all about the guilt or innosence of the suspect or investigating agents in this particular case.

Some countries may aldo choose to prosecute you according to their law, which may be even harsher.

I’m aware of one case in specific. 2 brothers killed a person in Sweden, one got caught and got 12 years the other one fled to Libanon which rejected the request to extradite him but chose to prosecute themselves. The sentence was death.

It’s a lot easier to disappear in India.
