In New Delhi, the Ministry of Home Affairs has chosen lawyer Narender Mann to be the Special Public Prosecutor for the trial against Tahawwur Hussain Rana, who is accused of involvement in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
Narender Mann graduated from Delhi University in 1990. He has worked with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and has been involved in many important cases. For example, he handled the case of a plot to kill former Chief Justice A N Ray and many other high-profile cases like the Commonwealth Games scams and Bofors scandal.
The government’s announcement, made on April 9, stated that Mann will work as a Special Public Prosecutor to manage the trial relating to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) case against Rana for three years or until the trial ends.
Tahawwur Hussain Rana, 64, is known to be connected to David Coleman Headley, who is one of the main conspirators of the attacks. Rana is reportedly on his way to India after the US Supreme Court refused his plea against being extradited to India.
On November 26, 2008, ten terrorists from Pakistan attacked Mumbai, hitting places like the CST train station, two luxury hotels, and a Jewish center. This horrifying event lasted three days and resulted in the death of 166 people.
