Lashkar-e-Taiba Operative Extradited to India for Bengaluru Terror Conspiracy

Salman Rehman Khan, linked to radicalization and terror plots in Bengaluru's central prison, was extradited from Rwanda after a global manhunt involving Interpol.

Salman Rehman Khan, a Lashkar-e-Taiba operative, was extradited from Rwanda to India by the NIA with support from Interpol and Rwandan authorities.
Khan was implicated in the Bengaluru Prisons Terror Conspiracy, where he was radicalized and became involved in supplying arms and explosives to terror operatives.
The case originated in Bengaluru's central prison, where convicted terrorist T Naseer allegedly orchestrated radicalization and terror recruitment efforts.
A Red Notice was issued for Khan in August 2024 after he fled India; he was arrested in Kigali, Rwanda, and returned to India on November 28, 2024.
This marks the 17th extradition of a terror-related fugitive by the NIA since 2020, reflecting increased international cooperation in counter-terrorism efforts.
