The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday filed the supplementary chargesheet before the NIA Special Court at Patiala House, New Delhi, against Tahawwur Hussain Rana in connection with the case linked to the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. The court is likely to consider the supplementary chargesheet on August 13.
The case pertains to a criminal conspiracy hatched by David Coleman Headley, Tahawwur Hussain Rana, and other members of terror outfits Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HUJI) to carry out terrorist attacks in different parts of India.
What does NIA include in the supplementary chargesheet?
The supplementary chargesheet includes documentation related to Rana's extradition and additional evidence gathered by the NIA since the original chargesheet was filed in 2011. "The supplementary chargesheet pertains to the submission of documents regarding the extradition of accused Tahawwur Hussain Rana and additional evidence collected by NIA," the agency said in a statement.
In compliance with the court's June 6 order, the NIA has also submitted a compliance report under Section 207 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) regarding the supply of relevant documents related to the earlier chargesheet filed in 2011.
