CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Tahawwur Rana, a Pakistani-Canadian national accused of involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, has been extradited to India from the United States. The extradition follows years of legal proceedings and diplomatic efforts between New Delhi and Washington. Rana is alleged to have conspired with David Coleman Headley, a key figure who scouted locations for the attacks that killed over 160 people. His transfer to Indian custody marks a significant development in the pursuit of justice for the victims of the Mumbai massacre.
Reacting to the extradition, US officials reiterated their commitment to counter global terrorism and strengthen international partnerships in security and intelligence sharing. The move has been welcomed by Indian authorities, who view it as a breakthrough in holding all conspirators accountable. The Ministry of External Affairs praised the US for its cooperation and vowed to ensure a fair trial for Rana under Indian law.
The case is expected to attract global attention as it moves forward in the Indian judicial system. With terrorism remaining a key global challenge, this extradition underscores the importance of international collaboration in tackling such threats and bringing perpetrators to justice, no matter where they reside.
