New York, Feb 16 : In May 2023, the Supreme Court of the United States approved Rana's extradition to India, and it was confirmed by President Donald Trump on 13 February 2025 during PM Modi's visit to the U.S.

The fact clarified that the extradition is happening because of the U.S. court's verdict delivered 10 months back and not the latest development. However, Rana had filed a review petition, and then on January, 21 the petition was too dismissed by Supreme Court of the United States.

A US court on May 18, 2023 approved the extradition of Chicago businessman Tahawwur Rana to India where he is wanted for his role in the 2008 terror attack in Mumbai. 

Rana was convicted in 2011 of supporting an Islamic militant group blamed for the attack on India's financial capital that killed 166 people.  But he was cleared of the more serious charge of helping plot the attack.  The businessman was arrested after an extradition request by India in 2020.  Rana, who denied all the charges against him, had challenged India's extradition request which was also supported by the US government.  But a court on May, 2023 consented to his extradition. The court said that Rana had been charged in India with criminal conspiracy, committing terrorist acts and murder - all of which are extraditable offenses as per the treaty between the US and India.  It, however, added that Rana will remain in US custody till the Secretary of State to India takes a final decision on his extradition.

Tahawwur Hussain Rana is a Pakistani-Canadian citizen, member of Lashkar-e-Taiba, immigration consultant, and former military doctor who served in the Pakistan Army.
