, 4 news, a view

A Delhi court on Wednesday extended the judicial custody of Tahawwur Rana, the alleged mastermind behind the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, until August 13.

Rana, who was extradited from the United States earlier this year, appeared before the Patiala House Court’s NIA Special Court via video conferencing after the expiry of his previous remand. Special Judge Chander Jit Singh passed the order extending his custody, while also directing Tihar Jail authorities to submit a status report on Rana’s health by June 9, following concerns raised by his legal team over his deteriorating condition.

The latest development comes after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed a supplementary chargesheet against Rana, including his arrest memo, seizure memos, and additional documents. The NIA had initially filed a chargesheet against him in 2012.
