Overview
- India’s NIA has sent a set of questions to US authorities through the MEA under the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty to obtain additional records on Tahawwur Rana.
- Investigators cite new evidence developed during months of questioning following Rana’s extradition, after which his voice and handwriting samples were collected before a special court.
- Rana remains in judicial custody at Tihar Jail after being extradited from the United States on April 10, 2025.
- The probe focuses on allegations that Rana aided David Coleman Headley’s reconnaissance and provided logistical support for the 2008 Mumbai attacks, with extensive call records among the leads.
- Sources say the agency is also examining possible links to other conspiracies, and a supplementary chargesheet filed in July added extradition documents and additional evidence to the case.
