Mastermind of 26/11 Attacks Tahawwur Rana to be Extradited to India, NIA and Mumbai Police on Alert

Tahawwur Rana, the mastermind behind the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, is being extradited to India from the United States. Following the completion of legal procedures, sources confirm that Rana will first be brought to Delhi, where the National Investigation Agency (NIA) will take him into custody. After initial interrogation, he will be handed over to the Mumbai Police for further legal proceedings.Authorities plan to lodge Rana in the same high-security barrack at Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail where Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving terrorist from the 2008 attacks, was kept. Rana, a former doctor in the Pakistani Army, is believed to have deep connections with the ISI and the terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba.His extradition process was closely monitored by India’s National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. Rana's questioning is expected to provide crucial intelligence regarding Pakistan-backed terror networks. Indian agencies see this as a significant development not only for delivering justice to the victims of the Mumbai attacks but also as a sign of strong India-US cooperation in counter-terrorism efforts.Security has been tightened in key locations, and a multi-agency task force has been deployed to handle his transfer and interrogation.
