Rana is accused of playing a role in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, which targeted multiple locations and resulted in the deaths of 166 people, including six Americans.

Currently held in a Los Angeles prison, Rana was arrested by the FBI in Chicago in 2009.

He is linked to David Coleman Headley, a key figure in the attacks, and is alleged to have assisted Headley and others in supporting the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).

Headley, turned approver in the case, is serving a 35-year sentence in the US.

Rana recently filed an appeal challenging his extradition, arguing that he had already been tried and acquitted in a federal court in Illinois on related charges.

He expressed concerns about facing a second trial in India for the same allegations, which could result in a conviction and potential death sentence.

After his appeal was dismissed by the Supreme Court, Solicitor General Elizabeth B. Prelogar urged the court to reject Rana’s petition.
