Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a key suspect in the infamous 26/11 Mumbai attacks, has been secured in Tihar Jail's high-security unit. Authorities are maintaining constant watch over him, sources disclosed on Friday.

Following a remand decision by a Delhi court, Rana was transported to Tihar amidst robust security protocols. His judicial custody began after his presentation before special NIA Judge Chander Jit Singh, a day preceding the expiration of his NIA detention.

Entering via gate number four, Rana underwent a thorough medical examination. Subsequently, he was moved to jail block two, designated for high-risk detainees. Although no official statement from jail authorities has been released, inside sources confirm continuous security measures, including round-the-clock activity surveillance.
