The US Supreme Court has cleared 26/11 Mumbai terror attack convict Tahawwur Rana's extradition to India, dismissing his review petition against the move. India sought the extradition of Tahawwur Rana as he is wanted in the 26/11 terrorist attacks.
This marked Rana’s last legal chance not to be extradited to India. Earlier, he lost a legal battle in several federal courts, including the US Court of Appeals for the North Circuit in San Francisco. Rana on November 13 filed a “petition for a writ of certiorari” before the US Supreme Court.
This was denied by the apex court on January 21, a day after Donald Trump was sworn in as the American President. “Petition DENIED,” the Supreme Court said.
