The attack was carried out by Pakistani terrorists, and Rana was named a complicit in the crime. He was later declared a fugitive by India, and on an extradition request by India for his involvement in the Mumbai terror attack was rearrested on the 10th of June in Los Angeles.

In an order issued on the 10th of December, the judge at the United States Court of Los Angeles said that it could not find that Rana has negated the risk of flight. The judge wrote in the order that the conspiracy to commit murder and the murder charges on him were of extremely grave in nature.

Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Chooljian, the US District Court of Los Angeles, in his procession on December 10 declared that Rana "offered a robust bail package" and proposed conditions that significantly decrease the chance of escape.
