India trying to bring back economic offenders: Tahawwur Hussain Rana was convicted for his role in the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks. The US Supreme Court has allowed the extradition of Mumbai attack convict Tahawwur Rana to India. With this decision, the way has been cleared for India to bring justice to this terrorist leader.
Apart from this, India is trying to bring back many other criminals. All these people have fled to India to escape the law. Last month, the government said that one-third of all these fugitive criminals were hiding in the US, which is now considered a safe haven for criminals and terrorists.

He has also been a doctor in the Pakistani Army. He had prior knowledge of the 2008 attack. He was arrested in Denmark in 2009 on charges of terrorist conspiracy. The US Supreme Court has now allowed his extradition.
