Overview

  • Special Judge Chander Jit Singh dismissed Tahawwur Rana's plea to communicate with his family on April 24, 2025.
  • The National Investigation Agency (NIA) opposed the request, arguing that Rana could misuse the opportunity to leak sensitive information relevant to the 26/11 probe.
  • Rana, extradited from the United States earlier in April, is in 18-day NIA custody for interrogation regarding his alleged role in facilitating the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.
  • The court emphasized the seriousness of the charges under the IPC and UAPA, including conspiracy, terrorism, and waging war against India.
  • Rana's legal team argued that communication with his family was a fundamental right, but the court prioritized national security concerns over personal communication rights.
