Tahawwur Rana, an accused in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, was brought to the Patiala House Court in Delhi on Monday amid tight security. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) sought a 12-day custody for Rana. The development comes after he completed an 18-day NIA remand.
The NIA took Rana from the NIA headquarters earlier today to appear before the court. Senior advocate Dayan Krishnan and special public prosecutor Narender Mann are expected to present arguments on behalf of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) during an in-camera hearing.
Advocate Piyush Sachdeva, appointed by the Delhi Legal Services Authority, will represent Tahawwur Rana.
Rana, a close associate of 26/11 Mumbai attacks conspirator David Coleman Headley alias Daood Gilani, was extradited to India after the US Supreme Court rejected his review petition against extradition on April 4.
