WASHINGTON: An attorney for Mumbai-attack convict Tahawwur Rana has urged the US Supreme Court to review the lower court’s decision to extradite him to India, citing the principle of double jeopardy which prevents a person from being tried or punished twice for the same offence.

India is seeking the extradition of Rana, a Canadian national of Pakistani origin, as he is wanted in the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks case.
