US Supreme Court to Review Tahawwur Rana's Extradition Plea on April 4
Rana seeks to block his extradition to India, citing health risks and potential torture, as Indian officials express confidence in the process proceeding as planned.
- Tahawwur Rana, accused of involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, has filed a renewed plea with US Chief Justice John Roberts to halt his extradition to India.
- The US Supreme Court has scheduled a conference for April 4, 2025, to review Rana's emergency stay request.
- Rana argues that his extradition would expose him to a high likelihood of torture due to his Pakistani origin, Muslim faith, and former military status, alongside severe health concerns.
- Justice Elena Kagan previously rejected Rana's application for a stay earlier in March 2025, clearing the way for the extradition process to advance.
- Indian officials remain optimistic that the extradition will proceed, with the US State Department having already signed the surrender warrant authorizing Rana's transfer to Indian authorities.
