Tahawwur Hussain Rana

“Pakistan may try very hard, but its reputation as the epicentre of global terrorism will not diminish,” MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said during an official press briefing in Delhi.

Tahawwur Rana, the mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai terror attack, is currently in NIA custody, where he is being interrogated. Rana has requested three things from the NIA, and the authorities have fulfilled all his demands.

In a big twist, NIA sources report that a secret witness, referred to as "Witness B", is set to confront Tahawwur Rana during interrogation. This witness reportedly facilitated David Headley's stay in Mumbai in 2006 and had close ties with Rana in the 26/11 attack conspiracy.

An NIA court granted 18-day custody of Tahawwur Hussain Rana, one of the first arrested in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks case, citing strong preliminary evidence. The judge stressed the need for a detailed custodial interrogation to uncover a far-reaching conspiracy that spans across Indian cities and international borders, posing a threat to national security.

Tahawwur Rana, a key accused in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, is likely to be brought to Kochi by the NIA to probe his visit to the city just ten days before the attacks. Investigators are exploring possible local links and whether his presence in Kochi was part of a wider terror plot involving other Indian cities.

During his late-night court appearance, Tahawwur Rana asked his legal counsels whether he could "plead the Fifth", referencing the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution which protects against self-incrimination. His counsels informed him that while Indian law does not include the Fifth Amendment, it similarly provides protection from self-incrimination under Article 20(3) of the Indian Constitution.

Tahawwur Rana, a prime accused in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, is under suicide watch in a secure cell at the NIA headquarters in Delhi after his extradition from the US. Granted 18-day custody by a special court, Rana is under round-the-clock surveillance, with limited access and strict security measures.

Tahawwur Rana, accused in the 2008 Mumbai attacks, has been extradited to India. He faces trial for his alleged role in facilitating the attacks, where he allegedly told David Headley that the Indians 'deserved it'.

A 2011 video of Narendra Modi criticizing the US for clearing Tahawwur Rana of 26/11 charges has resurfaced. Modi, then Gujarat CM, urged a strong response to terrorism. Rana's extradition to India has sparked reactions from political leaders.

Congress leader Sushil Kumar Shinde commended the BJP government for extraditing Tahawwur Rana, a key accused in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. He emphasized the importance of the NIA's investigation to bring justice to the victims and uncover the truth.
