The Indian government has appointed senior advocate Dayan Krishnan to lead the prosecution of Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a key conspirator in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. Krishnan, who previously represented India in Rana’s U.S. extradition case, will head a legal team including advocates Sanjeevi Sheshadri and Sridhar Kale. Special Public Prosecutor Narender Mann, known for handling high-profile cases like the Bofors scandal and the 2012 Delhi gang-rape, will represent the National Investigation Agency (NIA). Rana, extradited from the U.S. after exhausting legal appeals, is accused of facilitating David Headley’s reconnaissance missions in Mumbai. His trial is expected to shed light on the involvement of Pakistani state actors in the attacks. (PC: The Tribune)
