Dubbing it a “big win for India”, 26/11 prosecutor and senior lawyer Ujjwal Nikam welcomed the US Supreme Court’s decision to clear Mumbai attack convict Tahawwur Rana's extradition.

“The US didn’t accept his arguments and pleas. I am happy that the Trump government will send him immediately," Nikam told CNN-News18. Rana is currently at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles.

India has been seeking the extradition of the 64-year-old Canadian national of Pakistani origin in the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack case.
