According to the reports, investigating officers will try to get all sensitive information Tahawwur Rana has about people who were involved in the conspiracy. Source reported that NIA has also lined up a Mystery Witness, who is under police protection, to confront Tahawwur Rana.

WHO IS THIS MYSTERY WITNESS?

As per sources, the man who allegedly received David Coleman Headley in Mumbai in 2006 and arranged logistics and accommodation for him is police's witness, who is likely to be brought face to face to Tahawwur Rana.

A special NIA court has sent Tahawwur Rana to 18 days NIA custody.

The identity of this witness has been kept confidential to protect him from any kind of attack.

Pakistan's Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) was involved in the 26/11 attacks, which claimed over 166 lives and over 300 were injured.

Earlier, in June 2010, a special NIA team had grilled David Headley in the United States.
