NIA files supplementary charge sheet against 26/11 accused Tahawwur; court extends custody till August 13

NEW DELHI: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday filed a supplementary charge sheet against Tahawwur Rana, accused in the case linked to 26/11 Mumbai attack, officials said. The court also extended Rana's judicial custody till August 13.
According to the officials, Special NIA judge Chander jit Singh has put the supplementary charge sheet for consideration on August 13. The court is to hear Rana's application for regular telephonic conversation with his family on July 15.
The officials said that the supplementary charge sheet contains procedural documents like an arrest memo, seizure memo and other documents. The NIA had filed the main charge sheet in December 2011.
Rana was produced before the special judge through video conferencing after the expiry of his judicial custody. Last month, a Delhi court extended his judicial custody until July 9.
Rana, a Pakistani-origin Canadian national, was extradited to India earlier this year after the United States Supreme Court dismissed his petition on April 4, clearing the way for his transfer.
After his arrival in May, he was placed in NIA's judicial custody and has since been under investigation for multiple serious charges, including criminal conspiracy, murder, committing terrorist acts, and forgery.

Acquitted but sidelined: Carter Hart, Cal Foote, Dillon Dube, Alex Formenton and Michael McLeod await NHL decision after Hockey Canada scandal verdict

Photo by Brian Babineau/NHLI via Getty Images The hockey world was stunned this week when a Canadian court delivered a not guilty verdict in a case that has dominated headlines for years. Five players connected to the 2018 Hockey Canada scandal—Cal Foote, Dillon Dube, Carter Hart, Alex Formenton, and Michael McLeod—were cleared of criminal charges on Tuesday in London, Ontario. Yet the verdict hasn't brought an automatic return to the NHL. Instead, the league has hit the pause button, opting to review the judge's findings before making any decisions. For fans and teams desperate for clarity, this uncertainty has sparked one question: what happens next for these players? NHL calls allegations 'unacceptable' as Gary Bettman reviews verdict in Hockey Canada scandal involving Carter Hart and four others Hours after the ruling, the NHL released a statement from its New York offices addressing the situation. The league didn't mince words: 'The allegations made in this case, even if not determined to have been criminal, were very disturbing and the behavior at issue was unacceptable,' the league wrote. 'We will be reviewing and considering the judge's findings. While we conduct that analysis and determine next steps, the players charged in this case are ineligible to play in the League.' The statement highlights an important reality: when it comes to personal conduct, the NHL doesn't simply follow the courts. Its policy operates independently of legal outcomes. That's why these players haven't appeared in an NHL game since the 2023-24 season, when they were ruled ineligible due to a conduct policy violation—not a conviction. Which Hockey Canada players are impacted—and when could the NHL reinstate them? The five players at the center of this story—Foote, Dube, Hart, Formenton, and McLeod—now face an uncertain future. While their legal battle has ended, the league's review process could take days or even weeks. If Commissioner Gary Bettman reinstates them, expect a rush of interest from NHL teams. Among the group, Carter Hart is the biggest name. The 27-year-old goaltender boasts more than 200 NHL starts and would instantly become a top free-agent target for clubs desperate for depth in net. The other four—Foote, Dube, Formenton, and McLeod—are also expected to land new deals quickly if given the green light. What this means for the NHL While the verdict closes a major legal chapter, the league's decision will shape its reputation for years. Fans and media are watching closely: does the NHL prioritize its integrity policy, or does it open the door for second chances? The courtroom may have delivered its verdict, but the NHL still holds the final say. Until Bettman and his team complete their review, these five players remain sidelined, and their futures hang in the balance. One thing is clear: the next move by the NHL will be among the most scrutinized decisions in recent memory.
