Tahawwur Rana, who is accused of being involved in the Mumbai terror attacks, is expected to be sent back to India from the US very soon. The attacks, which happened in November 2008, resulted in the deaths of 166 people. Rana has run out of legal options in the US, which means he will likely be handed over to Indian authorities soon.
A team from India is currently in the US taking care of paperwork to extradite Rana. This follows a recent decision by the US Supreme Court that rejected his last attempt to avoid extradition. President Donald Trump had previously mentioned that those who commit terrible acts will be made to face justice in India.
Rana was held at a detention center in Los Angeles and is known for working with Pakistani-American terrorist David Coleman Headley, who played a major role in the attacks. Once he is in India, law enforcement agencies believe that his information might help uncover the involvement of certain actors from the Pakistani government in planning the attacks.
Before the attacks, Rana traveled around India, visiting places like Delhi, Agra, and Mumbai. It’s believed these visits could help investigators understand how the attacks were carried out.
The Mumbai attacks were horrible, where ten terrorists targeted various famous places in the city, leading to a serious crisis between India and Pakistan. Among the victims were people from the US, UK, and Israel. The FBI arrested Rana in 2009 for helping plan these attacks.
Rana is seen as a key figure linked to terror groups from Pakistan, and he will be questioned about his role in helping plan the attacks in Mumbai. His extradition is crucial for Indian authorities to get closer to solving the case fully.
