Tahawwur Hussain Rana, an important suspect in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, is being held at the National Investigation Agency (NIA) headquarters. Because of his presence, Gate No. 2 at the nearby Jawaharlal Nehru Metro Station has been closed for two days in a row.
On Friday morning, the NIA took 64-year-old Rana into custody for 18 days. They will question him thoroughly to learn more about the whole plan behind the attacks that shocked Mumbai and killed 166 people. A spokesperson for the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said that Gate No. 2 will stay closed until they get more instructions from the police. Although this gate is now shut, all other gates at the station are open, and metro services are running normally.
Rana was brought to NIA headquarters early Friday after a special court agreed to let them keep him for 18 days. The NIA stated that during this time, they will ask him many questions to uncover the complete story behind the attacks. Rana is known to be a close associate of David Coleman Headley, who is considered the mastermind behind the terror attacks.
On November 26, 2008, ten terrorists from Pakistan attacked various places in Mumbai, including luxury hotels, a train station, and a Jewish center. The attacks lasted about 60 hours and caused great tragedy, claiming 166 lives.
