On June 2, Tahawwur Rana, who is facing trial in India for his involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attack, filed a writ of habeas corpus challenging a United States (US) court order that allowed his extradition to India, reports India Today. His petition came days after the US District Court, Central District of California, passed an order allowing the extradition of the 26/11 attack accused Rana to India. The case dates back to June 10, 2020, when India filed a complaint seeking the provisional arrest of Rana with a view towards extradition. The US administration led by President Joe Biden had supported and approved Rana’s extradition to India. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) which is investigating his role in the 26/11 attacks, had stated that it is ready to initiate proceedings to bring him to India through diplomatic channels.
