- Who is Rana.?: A Pakistani-origin Canadian, Rana helped plan the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks that killed 166 people. He worked closely with David Coleman Headley, the mastermind who mapped out the targets.

- The Attack: On November 26th, 2008 10 Pakistani terrorists stormed Mumbai via sea, hitting iconic spots like the Taj Hotel. Only one, Ajmal Kasab was caught alive and later executed.

- Rana’s Role: Before the attack, Rana visited Mumbai from November 11th – 21st, 2008, scouting locations and passing info to Headley. He was jailed in the US for years but India kept pushing to bring him back.

Now, with US President Donald Trump’s nod in February 2025, Rana’s extradition is a done deal. The US Supreme Court rejected his last plea to stay, sealing his fate.

An NIA official said, “Rana’s arrival is a step toward justice for 26/11 victims. We’re ready to take him into custody.”

A Mumbai resident shared, “After so long, seeing a mastermind face trial here feels like closure.”

Trump announced earlier, “Rana’s going back to India to face justice—evil won’t escape!”

Additional Information

The Home Ministry and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval are keeping a sharp eye on every move. Once Rana lands, the NIA will arrest him officially and lock him up in Delhi’s Tihar Jail where tight security is already in place.
