Hello
The case appears to have been brought to a head by Pakistan's desire to extricate itself from the Financial Action Task Force's (FATF) international terror-financing watchlist, Nikkei Asia reported.
The 71-year-old radical cleric had already been convicted for 36 years imprisonment in five similar terror financing cases.
In November 2008, 10 terrorists entered India from Pakistan via the sea route and opened fire indiscriminately, targeting multiple important locations in Mumbai. The multi-targeted attacks killed at least 166 people.
Caught by the US when planning a new outrage, Headley was made available to Indian investigators, but his extradition has been firmly ruled out.
Devika Rotawan, now 22, was injured in the terrorist attack at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus 13 years ago.
Rana's childhood friend, who goes by the name David Coleman Headley, is serving a 35-year sentence after a federal judge convicted him on charges of helping carry out the Mumbai attacks.
As a row broke out on Tuesday over Tewari's views in his new book that India should have actioned a "kinetic response" in the days after the November 2008 Mumbai attack, the BJP hit out at the Congress and alleged that the UPA-I government put national security at stake by not responding strongly.
