A Washington-
American court rejected the bail plea of Tahawwur Rana, a Canadian businessman of Pakistani origin and the prime accused of the 2008 Mumbai attack. India has declared Rana a fugitive. The court said that the threat of her leaving the country was not over. David Coleman was arrested again on June 10 in Los Angeles following India’s request for extradition of 59-year-old Rana, a childhood friend of David Coleman Headley, for his role in the Mumbai terror attack.
166 people were killed in the Mumbai attack, of which six were US citizens. Headley was involved in plotting the 2008 Mumbai terror attack. He became a government witness and is serving a 35-year prison sentence in the US for his role in the attack. On December 10, Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Chulijian of Los Angeles district court stated that Rana offered a ‘good bail package’ and counted the conditions significantly reducing the danger of fleeing the country.
On the other hand, the court believes that it has not removed the doubt of the danger of running away. The court granted the US government’s request to keep Rana in jail. Meanwhile, the Indian government has supported the Indian request for not making public the documents submitted by India for Rana’s extradition. The documents that India has submitted for extradition directly mention the role of Rana in the terrorist attack in Mumbai and this information will be shared with him.

US Attorney Nicola T Hanna told the court on Friday that India had urged the US to take steps to limit people’s access to this document. Rana said in his bail plea that he is not well and has suffered heart attacks twice while in jail. Rana said that he was not a threat to the community, which was opposed by the US government.
