Tahawwur Rana in custody: Mumbai attacks mastermind Tahawwur Rana spent his first night in National Investigation Agency (NIA) custody after being brought to India on Thursday evening. Following an 18-day remand granted by the NIA Special Court, Rana has been kept in a high-security lockup located on the ground floor of the NIA headquarters. As per the information, the lockup, roughly 14×14 feet in size, is equipped with CCTV surveillance. Inside the cell, there’s a bed laid on the floor with an attached bathroom. Multi-layered digital security has been deployed around the cell, with guards posted round-the-clock. Only a highly restricted number of people have access to Rana’s cell — reportedly, just 12 specially cleared NIA officers are permitted entry. All essentials, including food, are delivered inside this secure unit.
