US Supreme Court rejected Mumbai attack accused Tahawwur Rana바카라s 바카라Emergency Application For Stay바카라 application to seek stay of his extradition to India.
Rana, 64, is currently lodged in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles.
Rana바카라s Counsel had earlier requested from the State Department the complete administrative record on which Secretary Rubio based his decision to authorize Rana바카라s surrender to India. The Counsel had also requested immediate information on any commitment the US has obtained from India with respect to Rana바카라s treatment.
Rana's Plea At US Supreme Court
He had filed an 바카라Emergency Application For Stay바카라 with the Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States and Circuit Justice for the Ninth Circuit.
바카라Application바카라denied by Justice Kagan,바카라 a note dated March 6, 2025 on the Supreme Court website says.
The application was submitted to Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States Elena Kagan.
In that petition, Rana argued that his extradition to India violates United States law and the United Nations Convention Against Torture "because there are substantial grounds for believing that, if extradited to India, petitioner will be in danger of being subjected to torture."
"The likelihood of torture in this case is even higher though as petitioner faces acute risk as a Muslim of Pakistani origin charged in the Mumbai attacks,바카라 the application said.
The application also said that his 바카라severe medical conditions바카라 render extradition to Indian detention facilities, a 바카라de facto" death sentence in this case.
It cited medical records from July 2024 showing that he has multiple 바카라acute and life-threatening diagnoses바카라, including multiple documented heart attacks, Parkinson바카라s disease with cognitive decline, a mass suggestive of bladder cancer, stage 3 chronic kidney disease, and a history of chronic asthma, and multiple COVID-19 infections.
바카라Accordingly, petitioner certainly has raised a credible, if not compelling, factual case that there are indeed substantial grounds for believing he would be in danger of torture if surrendered to Indian authorities.
바카라Further, because of his Muslim religion, his Pakistani origin, his status as a former member of the Pakistani Army, the relation of the putative charges to the 2008 Mumbai attacks, and his chronic health conditions he is even more likely to be tortured than otherwise would be the case, and that torture is very likely to kill him in short order.바카라
When Prime Minister Modi arrived in Washington on February 12 to meet with Trump, Rana바카라s counsel received a letter from the Department of State, stating that 바카라on February 11, 2025, the Secretary of State decided to authorize바카라 Rana바카라s "surrender to India,바카라 pursuant to the 바카라Extradition Treaty between the United States and India바카라.
At the same time, President Donald Trump announced that his administration approved the extradition of Rana and called him "very evil" and stated that he wanted by Indian probe agencies for his role in the 26/11 attacks, "to face justice in India".
