\"US<\/div>\n
The US Supreme Court<\/a> has rejected 26\/11 accused Tahawwur Rana<\/a>\u2019s plea to pause his extradition to India<\/a>, clearing the way for his handover. Rana, a Pakistani-origin Canadian businessman, is wanted in India for his alleged role in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.<\/p>\n

Rana, 64, is currently lodged in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles. He had filed an \u201cEmergency Application For Stay\u201d with the Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States and Circuit Justice for the Ninth Circuit.<\/p>\n

\u201cApplication\u2026denied by Justice Kagan,\u201d a note dated March 6, 2025 on the Supreme Court website says.<\/p>\n

The application was submitted to Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States Elena Kagan.<\/p>\n

Rana claimed that ‘torture’ awaits him in India while challenging the Trump administration’s decree.<\/p>\n


Responding to the allegation, Ujjwal Nikam<\/a>, Spl public prosecutor in the 26\/11 case, said that it is upto the US Supreme Court to decide if there is any merit to Rana’s claims.”It is for the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether there is any merit to the said allegation…India is one of the largest secular countries, and there is no discrimination on the grounds of race and religion,” Nikam was quoted as saying.Donald Trump, in a joint press conference with PM Modi, had announced Washington’s decision to handover Rana to New Delhi in February.<\/p>\n

Who is Tahawwur Rana?<\/h2>\n

Rana, a former doctor and businessman, is a Canadian citizen of Pakistani origin.<\/p>\n

He was arrested in 2009 in Chicago for his ties to a Pakistan-backed terror network. The FBI charged him with supporting Lashkar-e-Taiba<\/a> (LeT), the terror group behind the Mumbai attacks. While he was convicted in the US for aiding LeT, he was acquitted of charges directly linked to the Mumbai attacks.<\/p>\n

However, Indian authorities have maintained that Rana played a significant role by allowing David Coleman Headley<\/a>, one of the key planners, to use his immigration business as a cover to conduct reconnaissance in Mumbai.<\/p>\n
