Mastermind David Headley’s childhood friend
David Headley was the mastermind of the Mumbai attack. Tehwavur Rana was his childhood friend, who helped him to carry out the attack.
Last year, government lawyers in the court argued that Tahavvur is the childhood friend of David Headley, the mastermind of the attack. Tehwavur knew that Headley was working closely with Lashkar-e-Taiba. By helping Headley and providing financial help to him, Tawwur was also supporting the terrorist organization and the terrorists with him.
Rana was aware of whom Headley is getting, what is talking. He also knew the names of the attack and some targets. The US government has said that Rana was part of this entire conspiracy and there is a possibility that it has committed a crime of funding the terrorist attack.
