Tahawwur Rana extradition : 26/11 Mumbai terror attack accused lands in Delhi

Mumbai terror attack accused Tahawwur Hussain Rana landed in Delhi on Thursday, a day after a multi-agency Indian team left from the US with him on a special flight following his extradition.

The flight landed around 2.39 pm. Rana is likely to be lodged in a high-security prison ward in Delhi’s Tihar Jail.

The Centre has also appointed advocate Narender Mann as special public prosecutor to conduct a trial in the high-profile National Investigation Agency (NIA) case linked to Rana.

The team brought Rana to India after his last-ditch attempt to evade extradition failed as the US Supreme Court justices rejected his application.

Rana, 64, a Pakistan-born Canadian national and close associate of one of the main conspirators of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks David Coleman Headley, alias Daood Gilani, a US citizen, was lodged in the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Los Angeles.
