A special NIA court on Apr 11 sent Tahawwur Rana to 18-day custody of the National Investigation Agency following his extradition from the United States. 

Rana, accused of involvement in the 2008 Mumbai attacks, arrived in Delhi around 6.30 pm on a special flight. He was arrested by the agency upon arrival.

His extradition follows a prolonged legal process in the United States and is part of India’s investigation into the 26/11 attacks, in which 166 people were killed.

An interrogation cell has been prepared for Rana at the NIA headquarters. Only 12 members related to the investigation have access to this cell, including DG NIA Sadanand Date, IG Ashish Batra, DIG Jaya Roy. 

If anyone else wants to visit, they would require prior permission.
