Tahawwur Rana, a key co-conspirator in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, is currently in the custody of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for a period of 18 days following his extradition to India. During this time, the NIA plans to conduct a thorough and detailed interrogation to uncover the full extent of the planning, coordination, and international links behind the attacks.
