The National Investigation Agency (NIA) questioned 26/11 Mumbai attacks conspirator Tahawwur Rana for the second consecutive day to probe a larger conspiracy of the series of coordinated strikes of 2008. The agency questioned based on various leads gathered by the probe agency during the course of its investigation, including a large number of phone calls between him and his co-conspirator David Coleman Headley alias Daood Gilani, a US citizen currently in prisons in that country.
Tahawwur Rana is being questioned on his suspected links with the officials of Pakistan spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and his association with terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), which had orchestrated the attacks.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) Rana is interrogating Tahawwur Rana about his meetings and email conversations with Pakistan-based handlers as well as how he was managing funds to run a non-operative immigration office in Mumbai, which worked as a cover for David Coleman Headley’s surveillance activities between 2006 and 2009.
“He requested a copy of the Quran, which we provided. He is seen offering Namaz five times in his cell,” said an officer, describing Rana as a “religious man”.
Besides the Quran, Rana asked for a pen and paper, which have been provided, though he remains under close observation to ensure he doesn’t use the pen to harm himself. “Beyond that, he has not made any other demands,” the officer noted.
