Was finally granted 18 days custody
01:07
Of this Pakistani-Canadian terrorist
01:11
Tahabul Rana
01:11
And the NIA early this morning
01:14
Actually began the questioning
01:16
He's a key accused
01:18
He's a key plotter
01:19
Of the 2611 Mumbai terror attacks
01:21
In which 166 people
01:23
From over a dozen countries
01:25
Lost their lives
01:27
Now Tahabul Rana was extradited
01:29
From the United States just yesterday
01:30
He knows a lot of details
01:33
There are key gaps in the investigations
01:36
Not just about the enemy across the border
01:39
But also about the enemy within
01:42
And future terror attacks
01:44
That Lashkar-e-Taiba had planned
01:45
As part of Pakistan's so-called
01:48
Gazwai Hind
01:49
It's one of their fantasies
01:51
That they want to spread Islam
01:53
Across India
01:54
And by force
01:55
By sword
01:56
They want to kill Indians
01:58
We'll also get you details
01:59
Of the conversation
02:00
That Tahabul Rana had
02:01
With David Coleman Headley
02:03
About bleeding India
02:04
Through a thousand cuts
02:05
Of words to that effect
02:06
And celebrating the 2611
02:08
Mumbai terror attacks
02:09
But first
02:10
We get you this report
02:11
NIA begins interrogation
02:15
Of 2611 Mumbai attacks
02:17
Conspirator
02:18
Tahabul Rana
02:19
The terror accused
02:20
Was remounded to
02:21
18-day NIA custody
02:23
After a late-night court hearing
02:25
In Delhi
02:25
That followed his extradition
02:26
From America
02:27
The court has directed
02:29
That any medical requirements
02:31
On his behalf
02:32
Would be taken care of
02:33
And comprehensive medical tests
02:35
Would be done
02:36
When he's taken into custody
02:37
And before he's brought back
02:40
Into court
02:40
Tahabul Rana
02:42
Is being questioned
02:43
At the NIA headquarters
02:44
In Delhi
02:44
By a team led
02:45
By the NIA DG
02:47
Sources tell India today
02:49
That Rana was confronted
02:50
With a series of questions
02:51
Prepared by the agency
02:53
Two cameras are installed
02:56
In Rana's interrogation cell
02:58
And his questioning
02:59
Will be recorded
03:00
Rana has been kept
03:01
In a lock-up
03:02
On the ground floor
03:03
Of the NIA HQ
03:04
His interrogation cell
03:05
Is located just above
03:07
The lock-up
03:07
The terror accused
03:09
Is being served
03:10
Food in the same lock-up
03:12
And only a team of 12 officers
03:13
Have access to Rana
03:15
As per sources
03:16
Three sets of questionnaires
03:19
Have been prepared by NIA
03:20
Tahabul Rana
03:22
Is being questioned
03:23
On his location
03:23
On the days of the terror attack
03:25
And why he was there
03:27
Rana's also to be questioned
03:29
On people he met
03:30
During his stay in India
03:31
And why he sent
03:32
Headley to India
03:33
On a fake visa
03:33
As per sources
03:35
The priority is to find out
03:37
Who was Rana's handler
03:38
In Pakistan
03:39
Who was funding him
03:40
Who are the sleeper cells
03:43
Who are his business partners
03:46
Information that we are getting
03:49
Is India Today
03:49
Gets you that letter
03:51
Dated August 14, 2023
03:53
In which the Pakistani
03:55
Embassy in Washington, D.C.
03:56
United States of America
03:57
Wrote to its consulate
03:59
In Los Angeles
04:00
It's written
04:01
Rana's team's plea
04:03
Against the extradition
04:04
To India
04:05
Stands rejected
04:05
And the consulate
04:06
Should now help
04:08
Keep an eye
04:08
On Rana's next appeal
04:10
And further updates
04:11
And keep the Pakistani
04:12
Embassy in Washington
04:13
In the loop
04:14
The question we are asking is
04:16
When Pakistan
04:17
Has been denying
04:19
For two decades
04:20
They have been saying
04:21
That for two decades
04:22
Rana had nothing to do
04:24
With Pakistan
04:25
And that he was
04:25
A Canadian national
04:26
Why was the Pakistan
04:28
Embassy in Washington, D.C.
04:29
Instructing the consulate
04:30
In Los Angeles
04:31
To keep an eye
04:32
On all developments
04:33
We have accessed that letter
04:34
When Pakistan was
04:37
Desperate to ensure
04:38
That Tahovar Hussain Rana
04:39
Does not get extradited
04:40
To India
04:41
Before I get you
04:42
More on the story
04:42
Listen in
04:43
To the white lies
04:44
Of a state sponsor
04:46
Of radical Islamist terror
04:47
Called Pakistan
04:48
It's called Pakistan
04:49
Perhaps
04:50
It should be called
04:51
Jhootistan
04:51
Listen in to the
04:52
Foreign Office spokesperson
04:53
The Tahovar Hussain Rana issue
04:55
We have conveyed
04:56
Our position
04:57
Regarding his
04:57
Canadian nationality
04:59
And as far as
05:01
Our record indicates
05:04
He did not even
05:05
Apply for renewal
05:06
Of his
05:06
Pakistani origin
05:08
Documents
05:08
For the last two decades
05:09
I reiterate position
05:11
I reiterate position
05:11
We will give further updates
05:13
In due course
05:13
So I want you to
05:17
Read this letter
05:18
And a little carefully
05:19
And India today
05:21
Is accessed this letter
05:22
I want you to read this
05:23
And see this
05:24
What it says
05:25
This is a letter
05:26
That's dated
05:27
14th of August
05:28
2023
05:29
So if Pakistan
05:30
Was claiming
05:30
It has nothing to do
05:31
With Tahovar Hussain Rana
05:32
For 20 years
05:33
Why were they writing
05:34
Letters
05:34
Just a year and a half ago
05:36
In August 2023
05:37
Point one
05:38
Point two
05:39
This is an
05:39
E-message
05:40
That's marked
05:41
Most immediate
05:42
It's from
05:43
Washington DC
05:44
The Pakistan mission
05:45
In Washington DC
05:46
Their embassy
05:47
In Washington DC
05:47
To their consulate
05:48
In Los Angeles
05:49
What's the subject
05:51
Possible extradition
05:53
Of Tahovar Rana
05:54
To India
05:55
This is in continuation
05:57
Of the mission's
05:58
Earlier correspondence
05:59
On the above mentioned subject
06:01
So this is in the
06:02
First such letter
06:03
Very clear from this letter
06:04
That multiple letters
06:05
Had gone out
06:06
In the past
06:07
And this is just
06:07
In continuation
06:08
So Pakistan
06:09
Was tracking
06:10
These developments
06:11
Very closely
06:12
In fact Pakistan
06:12
Incidentally
06:13
Has spent
06:14
Millions of dollars
06:15
To ensure
06:16
Tahovar Hussain Rana
06:17
Does not get extradited
06:18
To India
06:19
We'll also be getting
06:20
You more details
06:20
On that
06:21
In the next
06:22
Several days
06:23
Reportedly
06:24
The Hibis Corpus
06:25
Appeal
06:26
Of Mr. Rana
06:26
The Hibis Corpus
06:27
Appeal
06:28
From his legal team
06:30
Challenging the
06:31
US District Court
06:31
Decision to extradite
06:33
Him to India
06:33
Has been rejected
06:35
And this is where
06:35
Pakistan starts
06:36
Panicking
06:37
Watch that later
06:38
The consulate general
06:39
Is requested
06:40
To share developments
06:41
Including the
06:42
Present status
06:42
Of the appeal
06:43
And future steps
06:44
With this mission
06:45
And continue
06:46
Closely monitoring
06:47
The case
06:48
If Pakistan
06:49
Has nothing
06:49
To do
06:50
With this gentleman
06:50
Why
06:51
Was Pakistan
06:52
Closely monitoring
06:53
This case
06:53
And we'll tell you
06:54
On India today
06:55
Why
06:55
Tahovar Hussain Rana
06:57
Was a captain
06:58
In Pakistan
06:59
Army
06:59
He was taking
07:00
Instructions
07:01
From Pakistan's
07:02
ISI
07:02
And Pakistan
07:03
Is now
07:04
Terrified
07:04
It's terrified
07:05
All this information
07:06
Will spill out
07:07
In public domain
07:08
And perhaps
07:09
In the past
07:10
Perhaps
07:10
Before 2014
07:12
They could have
07:12
Gotten away
07:13
With blue murder
07:14
Perhaps like
07:14
They did
07:15
After 26-11
07:16
When India
07:16
Did not respond
07:17
To Pakistan
07:18
State-sponsored terror
07:19
But now
07:20
They realize
07:21
There will be
07:22
Consequences
07:22
India's effort
07:24
Perhaps
07:24
Would be to
07:25
Ensure Pakistan
07:26
Gets back
07:26
In the financial
07:27
Action task force
07:28
Gray list
07:28
And that
07:29
India will
07:30
Try and ensure
07:31
That Pakistan
07:32
Is treated
07:32
Like an
07:33
International terror
07:34
Sponsor country
07:36
And treated
07:36
As such
07:37
Now Pakistan
07:38
Has a history
07:39
Of lying
07:40
That's why
07:40
It's Jhutistan
07:41
It lied on
07:42
Osama bin Laden
07:43
Being in
07:43
Abbottabad
07:44
Barely 200 meters
07:45
From Pakistan
07:46
Military Academy
07:47
In Kakul
07:47
In Abbottabad
07:48
Pakistan lied
07:50
About Ajmal Amir
07:51
Kassab
07:52
Being a Pakistani
07:53
They claimed
07:54
He's some Indian
07:55
Initially
07:55
Some Hindu terrorist
07:57
As some of them
07:58
Tried to claim
07:58
And that was
07:59
A wider nexus
08:00
Of Hindu terror
08:00
That the
08:01
Bogi that they
08:02
Spread
08:02
Then Pakistan
08:03
Actually claimed
08:04
That he was a
08:05
Pakistani
08:05
He was working
08:06
In Nepal
08:06
Had been abducted
08:07
From Nepal
08:07
And taken
08:08
To India
08:09
So the extent
08:10
To which Pakistan
08:11
Lies
08:11
So in India
08:14
It's a major
08:14
Breakthrough
08:14
In the 26
08:15
7 Mumbai
08:15
Terror attacks
08:16
Tahvaro Senrana
08:17
Is now in
08:18
NIA custody
08:19
And he's going
08:19
To be interrogated
08:20
Over the next
08:21
18 days
08:22
He'll be interrogated
08:23
At length
08:24
Then the agencies
08:25
Will go back
08:26
To court
08:26
And perhaps
08:27
See a longer
08:29
Interrogation
08:30
They'll probably
08:31
See his custody
08:32
For longer
08:33
They may want
08:34
To take him
08:34
To some of the
08:34
Places including
08:35
Kochi and
08:36
Pushkar
08:36
And Haridwar
08:37
Where they
08:38
Planned future
08:39
Terror attacks
08:39
But the politics
08:40
On the subject
08:40
Within the country
08:41
Is escalating
08:42
We get you
08:43
More in this report
08:43
Tahavur Rana
08:49
A key conspirator
08:50
Behind the
08:51
2611
08:52
Mumbai terror
08:52
Attacks
08:53
Is final in
08:54
India
08:54
After more
08:55
Than 17
08:55
Years
08:56
But even
08:59
Before the
08:59
NIA investigation
09:00
Resumes
09:01
In full swing
09:02
A political
09:03
Slugfest
09:03
Has begun
09:04
Over who
09:04
Deserves credit
09:05
For bringing
09:06
Rana back
09:06
Opposition
09:08
Opposition leaders
09:09
Are asserting
09:09
That it was
09:10
During the
09:10
UPA regime
09:11
The groundwork
09:12
For the
09:13
Extradition
09:13
Was laid
09:14
So
09:16
This
09:16
BGP
09:17
Rana
09:18
Festival
09:18
This
09:19
Is
09:20
This
09:21
U.P.A. government, now the American government, after the 16th anniversary of the U.P.A. government,
09:28
if you have the courage, bring it back.
09:33
The basic work was made by Congress, the U.P.A. government.
09:40
It was today, and it was in this country in the NIA.
09:51
The U.P.A. has hit back, accusing the Congress of failing to act during its tenure.
09:56
The ruling party claims that under its administration,
09:59
a stronger and more proactive approach to national security has been adopted,
10:03
leading to the pursuit and extradition of key terror perpetrators like Tahavur Rana.
10:21
The U.P.A. government, the U.P.A. government,
10:26
when the U.P.A. government's
10:49
of Tahabul Rana marks a major milestone
10:51
in India's pursuit of justice
10:53
for the 2611 victims.
10:56
Bureau Report, India Today.
11:01
India Today's Shivani Sharma
11:03
now joins me for more on this big story.
11:05
Shivani, the interrogation has been on
11:07
since 11 this morning.
11:08
What's the latest that you can tell us?
11:10
What are your sources in the NIA telling you?
11:42
The interrogation is going on at the NIA headquarters
11:45
where we are present right now
11:47
and the lockup that was prepared for Rana,
11:50
he was taken out from that lockup,
11:51
he was taken to the interrogation room,
11:54
the videography, the documentation
11:55
of the question-answer session goes on
11:58
and there are so many cross-verifications
12:02
that the NIA has to do
12:04
because there are already so many evidences
12:06
in the chart sheet of the NIA against Rana,
12:09
the way he collaborated and facilitated
12:11
the terrorists in 2611 attacks.
12:13
But majorly, three broad subjects
12:16
have been lined by the NIA officials, Gaurav.
12:20
One, about the 2611 attack,
12:22
about his association with the Pakistan army,
12:26
about his association with the Lashkar-e-Tayaba
12:28
and the sleeper cells,
12:30
the handlers who've been helping these terrorists
12:33
in India who might be present even now as we speak.
12:37
That's a very major aspect,
12:38
the enemy across the border
12:40
and the enemy within.
12:42
Keep tracking that story, Shivani.
12:43
I will come back to you for more.
12:45
For the moment, many thanks.
12:47
Meanwhile, a poster was displayed by local BJP leaders
12:52
at a rally and that read,
12:54
everyone will be exposed,
12:56
all will be held accountable.
12:59
The message was prominently displayed,
13:01
reflecting the BJP's enthusiasm,
13:04
the Carder's enthusiasm,
13:04
following the extradition of Tahavur Hussain Rana.
13:08
Leaders in Varanasi,
13:10
where the Prime Minister is right now,
13:12
they lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi
13:14
for ensuring Tahavur Hussain Rana
13:16
has finally been extradited to India,
13:20
showing it as a strong step towards justice
13:23
and zero tolerance for terror
13:26
and Narendra Modi government's strong stance
13:29
on national security.
13:30
We leave you with these images.
