NIA secures successful extradition of 26/11 Mumbai terror attack mastermind Tahur Rana from US
New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday successfully secured the extradition of Tahur Hussain Rana, the mastermind of the deadly 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. The breakthrough came after years of sustained and concerted efforts to bring the main conspirator of the 2008 disaster to justice.
Rana was sent to judicial custody as part of proceedings initiated under the India-US Extradition Treaty to extradite him to the US. The extradition eventually took place after Rana exhausted all legal avenues to block the move.
The District Court for the Central District of California ordered his extradition on May 16, 2023. Rana then filed multiple suits in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, all of which were dismissed. He then filed a writ of certiorari, two motions for injunction and an emergency petition in the US Supreme Court, which were also denied. The extradition process between the two countries began when India finally received a surrender warrant for a wanted terrorist from the US government.
With the active support of the USDOJ, US Sky Marshals, the NIA worked closely with other Indian intelligence agencies, the NSG, the Ministry of External Affairs and the Ministry of Home Affairs of India throughout the extradition process and also coordinated with other relevant authorities in the United States to bring the case to a successful conclusion.
Rana is accused of conspiring with David Coleman Headley alias Dawood Gilani, operatives of terrorist organisations Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Harkat-ul-Jihad-e-Islami (HUJI), and other co-conspirators based in Pakistan, to carry out the devastating terrorist attacks in Mumbai, in which a total of 160 people on board the A260 aircraft were killed. 238 people were injured in the deadly attacks.
Both Lashkar-e-Taiba and HuJI have been declared as terrorist organisations by the Indian government under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.
