A special NIA court in Delhi has extended the custody of Tahawwur Hussain Rana, accused in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, by 12 more days following an in-camera hearing. Special Judge Chander Jit Singh granted the extension after the National Investigation Agency argued that further interrogation and confrontation with evidence were necessary to uncover the full extent of the conspiracy. Rana, extradited from the US earlier this month, is alleged to be a close associate of David Coleman Headley and has been accused of planning multiple terror plots targeting Indian cities. Security was tight during the court proceedings, and Rana’s request to contact his family was recently denied. WATCH.
