Tahawwur Rana Extradited to India for 2008 Mumbai Attacks

The accused conspirator in the deadly terror attacks has been handed over to Indian authorities after exhausting all legal options in the US.

  • Tahawwur Rana, 64, landed in Delhi on April 10, 2025, following his extradition from the United States to face trial for his alleged role in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.
  • Indian authorities, led by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), have taken Rana into custody and are preparing to interrogate him regarding his links to Pakistan-based terror groups and state actors.
  • The US Supreme Court rejected Rana's final legal plea on April 7, clearing the path for his extradition under the India-US treaty after years of diplomatic and judicial efforts.
  • Rana, a Pakistani-Canadian national and close associate of David Coleman Headley, is accused of facilitating logistical support for the attacks that killed 166 people in Mumbai.
  • Indian officials, including Home Minister Amit Shah, have hailed the extradition as a major diplomatic and counterterrorism success, marking a significant step toward justice for the victims.
