Tahawwur Rana Extradition: Draped in brown prison overalls and a grey undershirt, his long grey beard unkempt and face grim, Tahawwur Hussain Rana finally landed in India on Thursday. Escorted under tight security by NSG commandos and NIA officials, Rana was flown in from the United States wearing a prisoner's uniform, a stark visual symbolising the fall of one of the key conspirators behind the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.

The 64-year-old Pakistani-origin terrorist’s arrival at Delhi’s Palam airbase marks the end of a legal and diplomatic battle, and a major win for India in its vow to bring every perpetrator of the heinous attack to justice.

The image of Rana — subdued, shackled, and on Indian soil — stands as a reminder: justice may take time, but it is inevitable.
