A special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Delhi’s Patiala House has permitted Tahawwur Rana, the Pakistan-born accused in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, to make three phone calls to his brother this month to discuss the hiring of a private defence lawyer. The calls will be recorded, conducted in the presence of a senior jail officer, and strictly held in either Hindi or English, the court ruled during an in-camera hearing.
