Tahawwur Rana, accused in the 2008 Mumbai attacks, is likely to be extradited to India after the US Supreme Court rejected his plea. An Indian multi-agency team is in the US to finalize extradition procedures. Rana argued extradition would violate US laws, citing potential torture.

He is linked to David Coleman Headley, a key conspirator. The attacks, which India blames on Lashkar-e-Taiba, resulted in 166 deaths. Rana is accused of supporting Headley. His extradition was approved by Donald Trump.

Indian officials departed for the US after receiving a "surrender warrant." Rana challenged the extradition decision, but the US Supreme Court rejected his plea.

He is expected to arrive in India soon, with a special aircraft arranged. The operation is overseen by the National Security Advisor. Prisons in Delhi and Mumbai are preparing for his arrival, with high-security measures planned. NIA officials hope to gain more information about the attacks.
