The court permitted Rana to use only a “soft-tip pen” and meet his lawyer in the presence of NIA officials, who must stay out of hearing distance during discussions.
Details Of The Alleged
The NIA informed the court that Headley had discussed the entire operation with Rana and had updated him about the involvement of Pakistani nationals Ilyas Kashmiri and Abdur Rehman. An email sent by Headley to Rana detailing his belongings and assets was also presented as evidence.
The NIA argued that additional custody was essential to piece together the full extent of the conspiracy, retrace Rana’s movements from 17 years ago, and confront him with critical evidence.
Background
On November 26, 2008, 10 Pakistani terrorists launched a coordinated attack across Mumbai, targeting a railway station, luxury hotels, and a Jewish center, resulting in the deaths of 166 people during a 60-hour siege.
