Notably, on May 1, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) was permitted by the court to collect voice and handwriting samples of Rana. The court approved NIA's application, enabling further forensic examination as part of the agency’s ongoing investigation into Rana’s role in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.
The 26/11 Mumbai terror attack mastermind, Tahawwur Hussain Rana, was extradited from the United States on April 10, 2025. He was extradited to India after the US Supreme Court rejected his review petition against extradition.
