The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has sought a fresh set of details from the United States government in connection with the case linked to 26/11 Mumbai attacks mastermind Tahawwur Rana through the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) process, sources said.

These additional queries were raised months after Rana’s interrogation, following his extradition to India, which could aid further investigation into the 2008 Mumbai terror plot.

Official sources privy to the development said the MLAT request was routed through the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and forwarded to US authorities via the Indian Embassy in Washington.

“The information sought is expected to aid the ongoing investigation and strengthen the case against him,” said the sources.
