On April 9, the United States extradited Rana, 64, to India "to face justice for his role in planning the horrific 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks,” US Department of State Spokesperson Tammy Bruce said Thursday.
The development follows Rana’s extradition from the United States, marking a significant step in India’s long-standing efforts to bring him to justice.
A US court of Appeals has ruled that Tahawwur Rana, Pakistan born businessman, can be extradited to India in the Mumbai terror attacks case. India has been arguing for extradition of Rana for a long time.
Government sources said NSA Ajit Doval, foreign secretary and top intelligence officials attended the meeting in which Modi took stock of the situation.
