“The horror of that night, however, has stayed with me forever. I vividly remember watching the NSG operation unfold and a single thought kept echoing in my mind ~ karma will one day catch up with the masterminds of this attack,” he said.
CM Sarma added, “Sixteen years later, seeing Tahawwur Rana back on Indian soil brings not just a sense of closure, but also renewed confidence. With decisive leadership at the helm, those plotting against India will think twice before daring to strike.”
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday began the interrogation of Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a key accused in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.
Rana was brought to the National Investigation Agency headquarters late Thursday.
The 26/11 Mumbai attacks accused will remain in the custody of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for 18 days, where he will be questioned in detail about the “complete conspiracy” behind the deadly 26/11 terror strike, said the agency.
Tahawwur Rana, who was extradited from the United States to India, was sent to NIA custody for 18 days by a Delhi court on Thursday.
