New Delhi:
The National Investigation Agency (NIA), who has kept Pakistani-Canadian businessman Tavavur Rana in his custody, can collect 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, which is a sample of the accused to confirm call records.
Matching voice samples with Rana’s call record may reveal if he was talking on the phone, giving instructions about the November 2008 attacks, in which 166 people lost their lives in Mumbai.
Rana’s consent will be required to take voice sample. In the event that he denies, the NIA can apply for permission for the same in a court. The refusal to submit the sample will be mentioned in the charge sheet, which may withstand trouble for him at the testing phase.
One permission is given, Central Forensic Science Laboratory Specialists will come to the NIA headquarters and take these samples in a noisy room.
