Washington, January 25, 2025: The United States Supreme Court has cleared the extradition of Tahawwur Rana, a key figure in the 2008 Mumbai attacks, to India. This decision comes after the dismissal of his review petition against the extradition order. Rana, a Pakistani-origin Canadian businessman, was acquitted in a U.S. federal court on charges related to the attacks. However, India has sought his extradition to face charges based on the same alleged conduct. (The Tribune)
The U.S. government’s support for India’s extradition request underscores the international commitment to bringing the perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks to justice. Rana’s extradition is expected to significantly strengthen India’s efforts in prosecuting those responsible for the attacks.
