New Delhi: Tahawwur Rana, one of the key accused in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, was grilled for over eight hours by the Mumbai Police Crime Branch in Delhi on Thursday. According to senior officials, Rana remained uncooperative and avoided giving clear answers during the interrogation.
Rana, a 64-year-old Pakistani-origin Canadian citizen and former officer of the Pakistan Army, is currently in the custody of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) following his extradition from the United States.
During the questioning led by DCP (Crime) Datta Nalawade, investigators focused on uncovering Rana’s role in the planning and logistical support of the 2008 attacks, which killed over 160 people in Mumbai. However, Rana denied all involvement, insisting that his company, First World Immigration Services, was a genuine business and not a cover for terror-related activities.
Despite his denials, authorities believe Rana played a vital role in facilitating the attack. His name surfaced prominently in the testimony of David Coleman Headley, another key accused in the case, who admitted that Rana helped him during reconnaissance missions in Mumbai prior to the attack.
