The US Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal of Tahabur Rana, accused of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, seeking a stay on his extradition to India.

With the rejection of this appeal, the process of handing over Rana to the Indian authorities has been accelerated.

64-year-old Tahabbur, a Canadian citizen of Pakistani origin, is now imprisoned in the Metropolitan Detention Center of Los Angeles, USA. 

In 2013, Rana was found guilty in the US of having completed the Mumbai attack with his friend David Coleman Headley and planning the attack in Denmark. 

The American court sentenced Rana to 14 years in prison in this case. Tahabbur Hussain Rana was born and raised in Pakistan. After obtaining his medical degree, he was included in the medical corps team of the Pakistan Army.
