A Delhi court has received the trial records related to the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, ahead of the arrival of Tahawwur Rana from the United States. The records were submitted to the court of District Judge Vimal Kumar Yadav, following his January 28 directive to the staff of a Mumbai court to forward the documents. The order was issued in response to an application filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which sought the retrieval of the case files from Mumbai. The trial court records were previously sent to Mumbai due to the presence of multiple cases related to the 26/11 attacks in both cities.
Rana, a key accused in the 2008 terror attacks, is being brought to India on a special flight today after his final attempt to avoid extradition failed. The US Supreme Court rejected his appeal, clearing the way for his transfer to Indian custody.
