NIA to bring 26/11 Mumbai terror attack mastermind Tahawwur Rana to India from US –

The 26/11 Mumbai terror attack accused, Tahawwur Rana, is being brought to India today. This was informed by Union Minister Piyush Goyal in a social media post. He said that due to the determination of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, today the accused of Mumbai attacks is being brought to India and he will get the stringent punishment. Talking to media in Mumbai, he alleged that the Congress government did nothing to punish the terrorists.

There are reports that he is being brought through a special flight from US. Meanwhile, Security has been beefed up at NIA headquarters, Patiala Court and some other areas in the national capital. Rana is being brought to India after his final attempt to evade extradition failed, as US Supreme Court rejected his application.

Yesterday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the return of Tahawwur Rana is a great success of the Modi government’s diplomacy. He said it is the responsibility of the Indian government to bring back all those who have misbehaved with the people of India. Speaking on a private TV channel, Mr. Shah said it would be a great achievement for the country that Tahawwur Rana will face a trial in an Indian court.

Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai has said that strict surveillance has been maintained on anti-national elements in the country since Prime Minister Narendra Modi assumed office. Talking to reporters, Mr Rai said, the terrorism has been almost completely wiped out from the country. He said strong action has been taken against those who tried to create instability in India over the past 14 years.
