After a prolonged legal battle,the NIA has successfully extradited 26/11 Mumbai attacks accused Tahawwur Rana from the United States. He arrived in Delhi after a lengthy legal battle spanning several years. Upon landing at Palam Technical Airport, he was escorted under tight security. Rana will now face investigation and trial under charges including terrorism and waging war against India.
The US Supreme Court has denied Tahawwur Rana’s plea to halt his extradition to India, paving the way for his return to face charges related to the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. Indian officials view this extradition as a diplomatic triumph for Prime Minister Modi’s government, emphasizing accountability for terrorism-related crimes.
