India's success in extraditing Tahawwur Rana was more than just a legal triumph--it was a combination of meticulous courtroom arguments and strategic diplomatic efforts, according to an official involved in the extradition process.
Trial court records related to the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks that were called from Mumbai to Delhi, at the end of January, naming Tahawwur Rana and David Coleman Headley as accused, were recently received by the Patiala House Court, as per official sources.
Mumbai 'Chai Wala' known as 'Chhotu' aka Mohammed Taufiq, whose alertness saved lives during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks stated that there is no need for India to provide Tahawwur Rana with cell and Biryani and facilities which were provided to Ajmal Kasab, one of the terrorists invol
Reacting to the extradition of 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks accused Tahawwur Rana to India, former diplomat KP Fabian on Wednesday welcomed the move but raised concerns over the delay in the process.
On April 7, the Supreme Court of the United States rejected Tahawwur Rana's plea to stay his extradition to India. Rana filed an emergency application with Chief Justice Roberts on March 20, 2025, seeking a stay on his extradition.
"It's good. Those involved in acts of terror should be strictly punished. Even the American courts did not entertain his stay plea. He will have to come to India and be punished for his crimes," Shukla told ANI.
Rana is being extradited from the United States in connection with a conspiracy case registered by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in 2009 related to the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.
