The US Supreme Court has denied the extradition stay request of Tahawwur Rana, a key accused in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, paving the way for his extradition to India. Rana had filed a plea to halt his extradition on the grounds of potential torture in India due to his Pakistani nationality. However, the US government had approved his extradition last month during the Trump administration. The decision by the US Supreme Court marks a significant development in the long-standing legal battle over Rana’s extradition. Rana, a Pakistani-born Canadian national, is accused of providing support to the terrorists who carried out the deadly attacks in Mumbai that claimed the lives of 166 people. The rejection of his plea signifies a major step towards holding him accountable for his alleged involvement in one of the deadliest terrorist incidents in India. The extradition of Rana to India is expected to further the legal proceedings against him and bring him to justice for his alleged role in the heinous attacks.
