Biden administration urges court to deny Tahawwur Rana's petition against extradition to India

The Biden administration has urged a court in California to deny the writ of habeas corpus filed by Pakistani-origin Canadian businessman Tahawwur Rana and reiterated that he be extradited to India where he is sought for his involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.

In May, a U.S. court approved 62-year-old Rana's extradition to India. Rana is currently detained at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Los Angeles.

On June 10, 2020, India filed a complaint seeking the provisional arrest of Rana with a view towards extradition. The Biden Administration had supported and approved the extradition of Rana to India.
