Ready to lodge 26/11 accused Tahawwur Rana in Maharashtra’s jail once extradited: Fadnavis

New Delhi: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday said the state government is prepared to lodge 26/11 Mumbai terror attack accused Tahawwur Hussain Rana in jail once he is extradited from the United States.
The chief minister’s comments came after US President Donald Trump announced that his administration has approved the extradition of “very evil” Rana, wanted by Indian probe agencies for his role in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, “to face justice in India”.

“We kept Kasab, what is the big deal here? We will keep him for sure,” Fadnavis said here when asked about Maharashtra’s preparedness once Rana is extradited.
Ajmal Kasab, one of the 10 terrorists involved in the November 26, 2008, Mumbai terror attacks, was arrested from one of the carnage sites in Mumbai.
He was lodged in jails in Maharahstra during his trial for four years and hanged in Pune’s Yerwada central jail in 2012.
Meanwhile, India is working on the logistics of Tahawwur Rana’s surrender and extradition from the US.
During a joint press conference with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the White House, US President Donald Trump announced that his administration has approved the extradition of “very evil” Tahawwur Rana, wanted by Indian law enforcement agencies for his role in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, “to face justice in India”.
