While, during the investigation, Rana said that apart from Mumbai and Delhi, he travelled to Kerala too, claiming that he went there tomeet a known acquaintance and had provided the individual's name and address to the agency.
Rana also cited memory lapses, saying that he was unable to recall specific details related to the attack as it occurred 17 years ago.
Rana, 64, a Canadian businessman of Pakistani origin, was extradited from the United States earlier this month after a long legal battle and diplomatic wrangling. Since arriving in India, he has been held under round-the-clock surveillance in a fortified cell inside the CGO Complex, reported PTI.
Investigators from the National Investigation Agency are probing Rana's alleged coordination with Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives and his known associate, David Coleman Headley (aka Daood Gilani), whose reconnaissance helped carry out the 26/11 attacks.
