A Delhi court has extended the judicial custody of Tahawwur Rana, accused in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. He will remain in Tihar Jail as the case progresses.
A Delhi court has granted 26/11 terror accused Tahawwur Rana the permission for one supervised phone call to his family, subject to jail regulations. The court has requested reports on his health and future communication rights. Rana, a Pakistani-Canadian businessman, is involved in the planning of the Mumbai attacks.
A Delhi court has extended the judicial custody of Tahawwur Rana, linked to the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, until July 9, addressing his health concerns. Rana appeared via video due to security issues, and the court requested a health report from Tihar Jail by June 9. He was recently extradited from the US.
The NIA has opposed Tahawwur Rana’s request to contact his family during ongoing investigations into the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. A Delhi court has directed jail authorities to report on Rana’s application. Rana, extradited from the US, remains in custody as voice and handwriting samples are collected for the case.
The NIA informed a Delhi court that Tahawwur Rana, linked to the 26/11 attacks, holds crucial information on the ongoing and future plans of Lashkar-e-Taiba. His custody is necessary for deeper insights into the group’s operations, despite claims of non-cooperation. The investigation aims to avert further terror actions in India.
The Delhi court allowed the NIA to obtain voice and handwriting samples from Tahawwur Rana, a key suspect in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. The NIA, citing a need for further investigation, extended his custody for 12 more days. Rana, who allegedly conspired with David Headley, faces severe charges related to the attacks.
