Judicial Custody of 26/11 Attack Accused Extended by Delhi Court

Court Decision on Terror Attack Suspect

A Delhi court has extended the judicial custody of Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a suspect in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, until August 13. This ruling was made by Special Judge Chander Jeet Singh.

Following the expiration of Rana's custody period, he was presented in court via video conference. Rana is known to be a close associate of David Coleman Headley, also known as Dawood Gilani, who is considered a key conspirator in the 26/11 attacks.

Rana was brought to India after the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed his plea against extradition on April 4. It is important to note that on November 26, 2008, ten Pakistani terrorists infiltrated Mumbai by sea, launching attacks on a railway station, two luxury hotels, and a Jewish center, resulting in the deaths of 166 individuals over a span of approximately 60 hours.
