Court Grants NIA 18-Day Custody Of 26/11 Butcher Tahawwur Rana

26/11 Mumbai terror attacks accused Tahawwur Rana has been sent to 18-day NIA custody by Special NIA Court. Following the court's order, Rana was brought to the NIA headquarters, where he will be interrogated for the next 18 days regarding his role in the Mumbai terror attack. 

The court has granted an 18-day custody of Tahawwur Rana to the NIA. Following the court's decision, the NIA issued a statement, saying, in a day of fast-paced developments linked with the extradition of Tahawwur Hussain Rana, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) took custody of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks mastermind on Thursday evening, on the orders of the Special  Court in New Delhi. The anti-terror agency had produced Rana before the NIA Special Court at Patiala House after formally placing him under arrest on his arrival at IGI Airport, New Delhi, following his successful extradition from the US.
 
The agency further stated, “Rana will remain in NIA custody for 18 days, during which time the agency will question him in detail in order to unravel the complete conspiracy behind the deadly 2008 attacks, in which a total of 166 persons were killed and over 238 injured.”

26/11 Mumbai terror attacks mastermind Tahawwur Rana will reportedly be held in a special cell at the National Investigation Agency (NIA) headquarters. Rana, a Pakistani-born Canadian national, was extradited from the US on April 10, after a prolonged legal battle. He is accused of aiding Lashkar-e-Taiba operative David Coleman Headley in scouting targets for the 2008 attacks, which killed 166 people. The NIA will interrogate Rana to uncover fresh leads into Pakistan's institutional support to Lashkar-e-Taiba. His custody has been sought by the agency to facilitate further investigation.

The route plan to take Tahawwur Rana from Patiala House court to NIA HQ involves taking Pandara Road, Golf Link Road, JLN Stadium, and Lodhi Road. 

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has been deployed at the National Investigation Agency (NIA) Headquarters lane in Delhi as 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks accused Tahawwur Rana is produced before the court. Rana, a Canadian national of Pakistani descent, faces charges of aiding Lashkar-e-Taiba operative David Coleman Headley in scouting targets for the 2008 attacks. The court's decision on his custody is pending, with the NIA seeking custodial interrogation. Rana's extradition from the US was recently cleared by the Supreme Court, paving the way for his trial in India.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has produced 26/11 Mumbai attacks accused Tahawwur Rana before a Special NIA Court in Delhi and court proceedings are underway. Rana, who was extradited from the US, is facing charges of aiding Lashkar-e-Taiba operative David Coleman Headley in scouting targets for the 2008 attacks. The court has provided Rana with legal aid counsel, and arguments on his custody proceedings are currently underway. The NIA is seeking custodial interrogation to uncover fresh leads into Pakistan's institutional support to Lashkar-e-Taiba and the roles of masterminds still at large.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is seeking custodial interrogation of Tahawwur Rana, accused of involvement in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. The agency aimed to confront Rana with evidence, including emails, travel records, and testimonies, to uncover fresh leads into the role of Pakistani state actors. NIA's move is part of the ongoing investigation into the 2008 attacks, which resulted in the deaths of 166 people. The NIA's efforts focus on exploring connections between Rana and Pakistani intelligence agencies, as well as gathering more information on the attack's planning and execution.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has sought a 14-day remand for Tahawwur Rana, with their lawyer, Advocate Dayanan Krishnan, presenting the case before the judge. The court has been informed about the entire case, including medical information. The NIA's chargesheet accuses Rana of aiding Lashkar-e-Taiba operative David Coleman Headley in scouting targets and providing logistical support for the 2008 attacks. Rana's trial will be conducted in a Delhi court, following the precedent set by previous high-profile extradited accused.

Tahawwur Rana, the accused mastermind behind the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, has been brought to the Patiala House Court in Delhi under tight security. Sources suggested that the court proceedings are being held in-camera, with Rana's lawyer from the Legal Services Authority, the NIA's legal team, the judge, and their staff present.

Justice Chanderjit Singh, who is set to hear the 26/11 Mumbai Terror Attacks case against Tahawwur Rana, also earlier heard the case against the Lok Sabha MP from Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla, Engineer Rashid, in a terror funding case.

Tahawwur Rana will be produced in the NIA court that will be presided by Justice Chanderjit Singh in the court number 39 of the Patiala House Court. It is believed that initially the legal assistance to Tahawwur Rana will be given by lawyer Piyush Sachdeva. 

On 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks accused Tahawwur Rana's extradition to India, former Puducherry LG and former IPS officer Kiran Bedi suggested a few precautionary measures to consider, saying, "Tihar jail has previously housed hardened criminals, separatists and terrorists. However, Rana's case requires extraordinary measures due to its international implications. I would suggest the following precautions must be considered at all costs...solitary, high-surveillance confinement, inter-agency monitoring...if possible, AI-assisted surveillance. Also, while transporting and prosecuting such a globally high-profile terrorist suspect like this, very key safety measures should be included. The following could be armed convoys with decoys, virtual trials, staff background checks and courtroom fortification... India's prison infrastructure needs modernization to meet global standards...With the right upgrades and intelligence, it is essential to establish a coordinated system of legal safeguards, technological infrastructure, and strategic foresight."

The Delhi Police have created a 14 km long Green corridor to transport Tahawwur Rana to the Patiala House Court from Palam airbase.
