Live Updates: Tahawwur Rana Lands In Delhi, To Be Produced In Court Shortly
Tahawwur Rana Extradition Live Updates: Mumbai terror attack case accused Tahawwur Hussain Rana was successfully brought back to India from the US on Thursday. He landed at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport at around 6.30 pm.
A key accused in the 26/11 attacks, Rana departed from the US on a special flight on Wednesday, after his last-ditch attempt to evade extradition failed. The 64-year-old was brought back by a team of the National Investigation Agency and the Research and Analysis Wing. Security has been stepped up outside Delhi’s Patiala House Court where Rana will be produced soon, an official said.
On November 26, 2008, a group of 10 Pakistani terrorists went on a rampage, carrying out a coordinated attack on a railway station, two luxury hotels and a Jewish centre, after they sneaked into India’s financial capital using the sea route in the Arabian Sea. As many as 166 people were killed in the nearly 60-hour assault.
Rana is a close associate of one of the main conspirators of the attacks, David Coleman Headley alias Daood Gilani, a US citizen.
