New Delhi, Aug 1 (PTI) The Tihar jail authorities on Friday opposed an application filed by 26/11 Mumbai attack accused Tahawwur Hussain Rana before a Delhi court seeking a phone conversation with family members.
The jail authorities made the submissions before special judge Chander Jit Singh in an in-chamber proceeding.
Rana is allegedly a close associate of 26/11 main conspirator David Coleman Headley alias Daood Gilani, a US citizen.
The judge noted the submission and posted the matter for hearing on August 5, a source said.
Rana was brought to India after the US Supreme Court on April 4 dismissed his review plea against his extradition to India.
On November 26, 2008, a group of 10 Pakistani terrorists went on a rampage, carrying out attacks on a railway station, two luxury hotels, and a Jewish centre, sneaking into India’s financial capital through the sea route.
A total of 166 people were killed in the assault that lasted for nearly 60 hours. PTI UK VN VN
