Pakistani-origin Canadian citizen Tawwur Rana is accused of helping Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists plan and carry out the Mumbai attack. 166 people were killed in this attack, including six American citizens. Rana has been convicted of working closely with her childhood friend and chief conspirator, David Coleman Headley. Headley is currently serving a 35 -year sentence in the US. US President Donald Trump announced last month that his administration approved Rana’s India extradition, so that he could face a trial in India for his involvement in the 26/11 Mumbai attack.
Tahwwur Rana presented a “Emergency adjournment petition” before the Associate Justice of the ninth circuit of America. In the petition, Rana argued that his extradition in India would violate American laws and the United Nations anti -atrocities agreement, as it is sufficient to believe that he may face torture when extradited in India.

Rana has said that the extradition of his India should be banned till the settlement of the pending trial on the merits and demerits submitted on February 13. The petition mentions that the probability of torture in the case is more and the petitioner is under serious danger, as he is a Muslim of Pakistani origin and is accused of involvement in the Mumbai attack. Additionally, the petition also states that keeping in view the serious health status of the petitioner, extraditing him to Indian custody centers would be like a “really” death sentence for him.
The application mentions the medical record of July 2024, in which it is clarified that he is suffering from many serious and life -threatening diseases and health problems. These include heart disease, Parkinson disease, increased meat indicating bladder cancer, kidney disease and asthma. Apart from this, he has also become a victim of Kovid-19 infection several times.
