NIA said it had secured Rana's extradition from the US following years of sustained efforts and after the terror mastermind's last-ditch efforts to get a stay on his extradition from the US failed. Rana was brought to the national capital, escorted by teams of NSG and NIA, comprising senior officials, on a special plane from Los Angeles, US. The extradition finally came through after Rana's various litigations and appeals, including an emergency application before the US Supreme Court, were rejected.
"With the coordinated efforts of India's Ministry of External Affairs and Ministry of Home Affairs, along with the relevant authorities in the United States, the surrender warrant for the wanted terrorist was eventually secured, and the extradition was carried out," said the anti-terror agency in its media release which was posted on its X handle on Friday.
