Overview
- Indian officials say Tahawwur Hussain Rana is dodging questions and offering contradictory versions to the NIA and Mumbai Police during ongoing interrogation.
- Rana acknowledges his ties to David Headley and that Headley used his company but denies knowing the visits to India were for reconnaissance.
- Investigators allege Rana enabled Headley’s surveillance by fronting a Mumbai branch of his immigration firm and arranging visas and documents.
- The U.S. Embassy marked the 17th anniversary by calling Rana’s 2025 extradition a major step and reaffirming counterterrorism cooperation with India.
- Rana was handed to Indian authorities on April 10 after the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed his final challenge on April 4, and he now faces conspiracy and terrorism charges linked to the 2008 attacks that killed 166 people.
