Rana Extradited to India for 2008 Mumbai Attacks

Tahawwur Rana, a Pakistan-born Canadian citizen, has been extradited from the US to India for his alleged involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, which resulted in 166 deaths, including six Americans. The extradition is seen as a significant step toward justice for the victims. While the current Indian government sees this as a diplomatic success, the Congress credits the groundwork laid during their tenure, emphasizing that the extradition is the culmination of over a decade of diplomatic and legal efforts initiated under the UPA government. Rana's extradition was marked by high security and facilitated by a special green corridor in New Delhi. The US Department of Justice noted Rana's past commendation of the terrorists involved in the attacks, adding further gravity to his trial in India. The case highlights ongoing international cooperation against terrorism, with significant implications for Indo-Pakistani relations.
