First of all, read what Trump statement and Modi made about Tehwwur
Trump said,
I am happy to announce that my government has approved the extradition of the accused of the worst people of the world and the accused of conspiracy for terrible attacks in Mumbai. Now he will go to India and face justice.
PM Modi said,
The accused in Mumbai’s terrorist attack is extradited to India for interrogation and trial. I thank President Trump for accelerating this process.
Tahwwur Rana is a businessman of Pakistani origin
64 years old Tawwur Hussain Rana is a Canadian citizen of Pakistani origin. He is accused of having helped the American Pakistani terrorist David Coleman Headley. Headley is one of the main conspirators of 26/11 Mumbai.
Tehwwur Hussain worked as a doctor in the Pakistani army. He then moved to Canada in 1997 and started working as a businessman who gave immigration services there.
From there, he reached America and opened a consulting company called First World Immigration Services in several places, including Chicago. According to American court documents, Rana also visited Canada, Pakistan, Germany and England several times. He can talk about 7 languages.
Tahwwur is a childhood friend of David Headley, the brain of the attack
During last year’s hearing, government lawyers argued that Tahavwur was David Headley’s childhood friend, the brain of the attack and knew that Headley worked in close collaboration with Lashkar-E- Taiba. By helping Headley and providing him with financial assistance, Tawwur also supported the terrorist organization and the terrorists with him.
Rana was aware of who Headley gets, what’s talking about. He also knew the names of the attack and certain targets. The US government said Rana was one of this conspiracy and that it was possible that he has committed a funding crime for the terrorist attack.
David Headley was the brain of Mumbai’s attack. Tehwavur Rana was his childhood friend, who helped him carry out the attack.
Tehwavur helped Headley open an office in Mumbai
It was Rana who helped Headley to open an office in Mumbai. He opened this office to hide his terrorist activities. Headley began to travel India through immigration consulting firms and find the location where the Lashkar-E-Taiba could lead a terrorist attack. He did the Reiki of the Taj hotel, Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai. Later, there were attacks here.
The US government said, “Headley said in her statement that Rana ordered a person associated with the first world to make documents for Headley to make the false history linked to the opening of the first world office in Mumbai. It was Rana who advised Headley how to get a visa to visit India. All these things were certified by e-mail and other documents.
Rana was arrested in October 2009
In October 2009 in Chicago, the United States, the FBI arrested Tawwur Rana from O’Hare airport. He was accused of having provided the goods necessary to carry out the terrorist attack in Mumbai and Copenhagen. Based on Headley’s testimony, Tawwur was sentenced to 14 years in prison. After that, he had to stay under surveillance for five years.
In 2011, Rana was found guilty of plotting an attack on the Danish newspaper Morgeinn spends-Posten. The newspaper attacked 12 controversial caricatures on Prophet Mohammed in 2005. To protest against this, the head of a caricaturist was beheaded during the attack on the office. The following year, the same 12 caricatures were attacked by the French magazine called “Charlie Hebdo”, in exchange for which 12 people were killed by attacking the office of Charlie Hebdo in 2015.
India’s NIA filed an accusation sheet against Rana in 2011
In 2011 itself, the National Agency of Investigation (NIA) of India deposited an accusation sheet on 9 people, including Rana, to plot and lead the terrorist attack of Mumbai. In a 400 -page accusation sheet presented by the Mumbai police in 2023, the police wrote that Rana had entered India on November 11, 2008 and stayed here until November 21. During that, he stayed at the Rinasan hotel in Powai, Mumbai for two days.
The Indian government has been trying for 6 years to bring Rana to India
India first filed a request to extradite Rana in India through diplomatic channels on December 4, 2019. A complaint was filed on June 10, 2020 requiring its temporary arrest.
Rana filed a request before the lower court before the American Court of Appeal of San Francisco against the extradition request from India. His petition was rejected everywhere.
He finally demanded an examination of the lower court decision to file a request at the United States Supreme Court on November 13, 2024. On January 21 of this year, the Supreme Court also rejected Rana’s petition.
