Tahawwur rana extradition: 26/11 Tawwur Rana, the mastermind of the Mumbai terror attack, was brought to India on Thursday (10 April 2025). The special aircraft from which NIA and NSG commandos have come from America to India, he had halted in Bucharest, the capital of Romania on Wednesday (9 April 2025). After this, the NIA team left from there on Thursday morning and reached Palam Technical Airport in Delhi at 6.30 pm.

Why was the route diverted?

The flight bringing Rana to Delhi from Romania was a big reason for much time. The special aircraft was brought from Europe to the aerspace of Gulf countries instead of Pakistan’s Air Space. After this, the flight reached Delhi from the Arabian Sea to Gujarat. Pakistan’s air space is quite sensitive, due to which distance from this route was made. If the Tehwavur has been the Veteran (doctor) of the Pakistani Army, then the NIA could not take any risk about its safety.

Tahwwur’s medical done at the airport itself

All the sensitive air-roots of the country, NSG commandos are stationed in every flight to operate. Their identity is kept very confidential. They are known as Air Marshal. As soon as he reached Palam Airport, the NIA formally arrested Tahawwur. Medical checkup was done at the airport itself.

Tehwavur Rana sent to 18 days custody

NIA Court Special Judge Chandrajit Singh sent Tahwwur Rana to 18 days of custody, while the NIA requested his 20 -day custody. Rana could be brought to India when the American top court on 4 April dismissed his reconsideration petition against his extradition. The NIA told the court that interrogation of Rana is necessary to find out the major conspiracy behind the 2008 attacks.
