India, April 12 -- Mumbai 26/11 attacks accused Tahawwur Rana was reportedly told by his counsel on Thursday night that his trial, even a fast one, could take at least 5-10 years since even filing a chargesheet could take a year in the complex case.

The co-conspirator of the 26/11 attacks was extradited from the US and arrived in India on Thursday, after which his counsel advised him on his rights.

Tahawwur Rana was asking about the India legal system and inquired if he could "plead the Fifth," invoking the Fifth Amendment of the US constitution that prevents self-incrimination, sources cited in a Times of India report said. Tahawwur Rana was told that he could not, although India also had equivalent laws as well, the sources said.
