The US Supreme Court has rejected Mumbai terror attack accused [Tahawwur Rana’s application seeking a stay on his extradition](https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/tahawwur-rana-approaches-us-court-stop-extradition-to-india-will-be-tortured-2689739-2025-03-06#?utm_source=Story_hp&utm_medium=Story&utm_campaign=home_Story) to India, weeks after President Donald Trump approved the move during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Washington.
After Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan refused to grant a stay on Rana’s extradition, his counsel renewed an emergency application previously addressed to Kagan requesting that the renewed application be placed before the Chief Justice of the America's top court.
The 63-year-old Rana, a Canadian national of Pakistani origin, is currently jailed at a metropolitan detention centre in Los Angeles. He is known to be associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist David Headley, one of the main conspirators of the 2008 attacks in Mumbai which led to the deaths of 175 people.
