Rana played a crucial role in the 26/11 attack. He is a Pakistani born Canadian citizen. He was arrested in the U.S. for supporting terrorism. American courts have now allowed his extradition to India. Authorities are bringing him to Delhi on a special flight. On arrival, agencies like the NIA and RAW will take him into custody.
Legal Actions and High-Security Jail
Once in Delhi, officials will present him in court. Later, they will move him to Tihar Jail’s high security ward. He faces multiple charges, including conspiracy, murder and forgery. Indian authorities have been trying to bring him back for years.
Rana’s Connection with David Headley
Documents show Rana’s deep involvement in the attack. He had close ties with David Coleman Headley, the key planner. Before the attack, Rana visited India with Headley. They surveyed locations like India Gate and other major landmarks. These places were on the terrorists’ target list.
The Bigger Conspiracy
Reports suggest that Rana, Headley and others planned attacks on multiple sites. National Defence College and India Gate were among the targets. The charge sheet mentions names like Hafiz Saeed, Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and Sajid Mir. These individuals are linked to the Mumbai attacks.
Communication Before the Attack
Records reveal that Rana spoke to Headley 231 times before the attack. In his last visit to India, he had 66 secret meetings. Rana’s company, First World Immigration Services, helped Headley enter India. Investigators found that Rana was involved in eight espionage missions in India.
What Happens Next?
Indian officials have made special arrangements for Rana’s custody. Once in jail, authorities will follow strict security protocols. Officials are waiting for court orders to proceed with his trial.
