The US Supreme Court has rejected Tahawwur Rana's emergency appeal to block his extradition to India, bringing the accused one step closer to facing justice for his alleged involvement in the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Rana's plea argued that he would face torture and possible death in Indian custody due to his religious identity and past association with the Pakistani Army. However, Justice Elena Kagan dismissed his application, prompting Rana's legal team to escalate the appeal to Chief Justice John Roberts for a final attempt to block the extradition.
Tahawwur Rana, a Canadian national accused in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, has filed a renewed application with US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts seeking a stay on his extradition to India. This comes after his initial emergency bid was rejected, dealing a major blow to his legal battle. Rana, who is currently detained in Los Angeles, had earlier filed a plea with US Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, which was later denied.
In a major development, the US Supreme Court has rejected Tahawwur Rana's appeal against his extradition to India for his role in the 2008 Mumbai attacks. This decision comes after a long-drawn legal battle, with Rana seeking review of the extradition order issued last month by a US district court. The development paves the way for Rana to face trial in India, and brings renewed hope for justice to the victims of one of the deadliest terror attacks in history.
The United States Supreme Court has finally cleared the extradition of Tahawwur Rana, a Canadian citizen of Pakistani origin, to India for his involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks. This marks the end of Rana's numerous attempts to contest his case in various federal courts and avoids his possible prosecution in India. The US Supreme Court's decision is seen as a major victory for India in its quest for justice for the victims of the Mumbai terror attacks.
