Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a key accused in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, is currently being held in a high-security cell at the National Investigation Agency’s (NIA) headquarters in the CGO Complex, New Delhi. He is under constant surveillance as the NIA continues its interrogation into a broader conspiracy behind the deadly 26/11 strikes.
According to sources Rana, who was extradited from the United States last week, is being questioned for the second consecutive day. He is being treated like any other arrested individual, with no special privileges. Officials confirmed that all legal and procedural norms are being followed as per court directives.
Rana, described by officials as a “religious man,” has been provided with a copy of the Quran upon request and is observed offering Namaz five times a day inside his cell. He has also been given pen and paper but is under close observation to ensure he does not harm himself.
As directed by the court, Rana is allowed to meet a lawyer appointed by the Delhi Legal Services Authority (DLSA) every alternate day. He also undergoes a medical check-up every 48 hours to ensure his well-being.
The NIA was granted 18-day custody of Rana to delve deeper into his role in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and possible links to other conspirators. The developments mark a crucial phase in India’s ongoing efforts to bring those involved in the terror attacks to justice.
