Canada moves to strip 26/11 accused Tahawwur Rana of citizenship ahead of PM Carney's India trip

• Canada initiates proceedings to revoke Tahawwur Rana's citizenship, citing fraud and misrepresentation during naturalisation.
• Rana, accused of a key logistical role in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, was extradited to India from the US in April 2025.
• Canadian authorities found Rana used false residency claims, spending nearly four years in Chicago despite claiming Ottawa and Toronto.
• Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada described Rana's actions as "serious and deliberate deception" and a "lack of respect for citizenship laws."
• Pakistan has distanced itself, stating Rana is a Canadian national and has not renewed his Pakistani documents for over two decades.
