Overview

• Tahawwur Rana, extradited from the U.S., was produced before Delhi's Patiala House Court on April 28, 2025, following the conclusion of his 18-day custody under the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
• Rana is accused of involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks that killed 166 people and injured hundreds, allegedly aiding Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives.
• During an eight-hour questioning session by the Mumbai Crime Branch, Rana reportedly provided evasive answers and denied any connection to the planning or execution of the attacks.
• Rana attributed responsibility for the attacks' reconnaissance and planning to his childhood friend and co-accused, David Coleman Headley, who has turned approver in the case.
• The NIA is awaiting court directives on whether Rana’s detention will be extended as they continue to probe his alleged links to terror networks and Pakistan-based entities.
