The long-awaited extradition of Tahawwur Rana, a Canadian national of Pakistani origin, from the United States to India has been completed. This significant step in the case related to the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks was confirmed by the Indian government.

Rana, who is accused of being involved in the devastating attacks, has arrived in India following the extradition process. The extradition was facilitated by the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India.

The 2008 Mumbai terror attacks were a series of coordinated attacks that took place in Mumbai, India, resulting in the death of 166 people. Rana faces serious charges in connection with these attacks.

Rana's lawyer during the trial in India is Advocate Sahil Aggarwal. His extradition was initially denied by the US Supreme Court after his final appeal. However, after his final attempt to block it, the US Supreme Court made a decision in favour of the extradition.

The extradition of Rana was completed on a commercial flight. His arrival in India marks the beginning of his legal proceedings in India. He will be presented before a Mumbai court to face charges related to the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.

The Indian government has been seeking Rana's extradition for several years. The extradition of Rana is a significant step in bringing those responsible for the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks to justice. The case is expected to shed light on the events that led to the attacks and provide closure for the victims and their families.
