US District Court in Los Angeles on July 21, rejected the USD 1.5 million bail application of Pakistani-origin Canadian businessman Tahawwur Rana, who has been declared a fugitive by India for his involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attack case (26/11) describing him a flight risk, reports NDTV. US District Court Judge in Los Angeles Jacqueline Chooljian, in her 24-page order dated July 21, denied bail to Rana arguing that he is a flight risk. Describing Rana as a flight risk, the US government opposed his release on bail, arguing that if he were to flee to Canada, he may escape the possibility of a death sentence in India. "Given the stakes, an allowance of bail in any amount would not guarantee Rana's presence in court. Granting bail would invite the possibility of embarrassing the United States in the conduct of its foreign affairs, straining its relationship with India," Assistant US Attorney John J Lulejian had told the court.

In a motion filed before the US District Court Judge in Los Angeles Jacqueline Chelonian, US Attorney Nicola T Hanna urged the court to deny Rana’s motion for release for failure to prove that he is not a flight risk or that special circumstances exist and continue to detain him pending resolution of this extradition proceeding. Hanna’s motion comes in opposition to the latest effort of Rana to avoid detention pending extradition, by capitalising on the developments of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rana’s attorney has argued that pandemic warrants his release from custody. In denying Rana’s initial motion for release in July,2020, the court had said he constituted a flight risk given his significant foreign contacts and the possibility he could face a death sentence in India.
