Mumbai News: Legal process is going on in America on the possibility of extradition of Tahavvur Rana, accused of the 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, to India. In this case, India can hand him over under the US-India Extradition Treaty. Final arguments were presented on this issue in the US court, in which US attorney Bram Alden argued in favor of this extradition. Pakistani-Canadian businessman Rana has appealed against this decision in the US District Court. In May, he filed a petition challenging the court order.
Terrorists can be brought to India from America
US lawyer Bram Alden insisted in court that Tahawwur Rana can be sent to India under the clear provisions of the US-India extradition treaty. He told the court that India has presented sufficient evidence regarding Rana's alleged role in the Mumbai attacks, which proves the potential reason for him to be sent to India to face trial. 166 people were killed and 239 were injured in these terrorist attacks. Alden argued that both India and the US agree on the provisions of this treaty, which can make Rana's extradition possible.
26/11 accused Tahawwur Rana
Tahawwur Rana, who is currently lodged in a Los Angeles jail, is believed to be one of the main conspirators of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. He is a close associate of Pakistani-American terrorist David Coleman Headley, who was involved in planning the attack. Rana's lawyer John D Kline argued in court that there was no concrete evidence to support probable cause against his client. He said Rana was unaware of the events taking place in India between 2006 and 2008. On the other hand, Alden presented documentary evidence that showed Rana had met Headley several times and provided him with fake visa applications so that he could set up a fake business in India and oversee the terrorist attacks.
American lawyer argued in court
According to Alden's arguments, these documents and Headley's testimony clearly show that Rana was aware of these attacks and was involved in them. Therefore, the case for sending him to India under the US-India extradition treaty is strong. However, Rana's lawyer has opposed these arguments and has appealed to the court to stop the extradition. The result of the legal process going on in the court on this issue will be clear in the coming times, but for now Tahawwur Rana's case remains a topic of discussion at the international level.
