Court sources said the Delhi court received trial records of the 26/11 Mumbai attack before its alleged planner Tahawwur Hussain Rana arrived in India from the United States.
Rana, the main accused in the 2008 attack, was taken to India during a special flight on Thursday (April 10, 2025) as his last attempt to escape extradition failed because a US Supreme Court justice rejected his application.
The record was received by District Court Judge Vimal Kumar Yadav, who recently sent his instructions to the staff of the Mumbai Court on January 28 to send the record.
The judge passed the application filed by the Delhi National Investigation Bureau, which adopted the order seeking to retrieve records from Mumbai.

The trial court records were previously sent to Mumbai due to multiple cases related to the 26/11 attacks in both cities.
Amid the setbacks against Lana, the U.S. court earlier ruled that a Pakistani-Odin Canadian businessman could be extradited to India, where he participated in the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack by Pakistan-based Lashkar-ee-Taiba terrorists.
Rana, 64, was one of the main accomplices of the attack, David Coleman Headley, alias Daood Gilani, a U.S. citizen.
On November 26, 2008, a group of 10 Pakistani terrorists rushed into India’s financial capital using sea routes in the Arabian Sea, and coordinated attacks on the railway station, two luxury hotels and a Jewish center.
As many as 166 people were killed in nearly 60 hours of attack.
