CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: A team from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has reached the United States to expedite the legal process of securing the custody of Tahawwur Rana, a key accused in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. Rana, currently detained in the US, is wanted in India for his alleged involvement in the deadly 2008 attacks that killed over 160 people and shook the nation.
The NIA’s visit marks a significant step forward in the ongoing efforts to bring justice to the victims of one of India’s worst terror incidents. The agency is expected to present strong evidence and legal documents to support India’s extradition request.
Tahawwur Rana, a Pakistani-origin Canadian businessman, is accused of providing logistical support to David Headley, the Lashkar-e-Taiba operative who conducted reconnaissance for the attacks. India has been pursuing his extradition for years, and the case has seen multiple legal proceedings in US courts.
The NIA’s mission in the US is seen as a crucial development in India’s counter-terrorism efforts, highlighting the importance of international cooperation in tracking and prosecuting global terror networks. The outcome of this visit could have a major impact on India’s fight for justice in the 26/11 case.
