India, June 9 -- A Delhi court on Monday allowed Tahawwur Hussain Rana, the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks accused in Tihar prison, to make one phone call to his family in Canada after the prison authorities and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) did not object to his request.

Judge Chander Jit Singh permitted Rana to make the call as a one-time measure to convey his well being on the condition that the call would be strictly governed by the jail manual and the rules laid down by Tihar authorities.

The judge also asked Tihar jail to submit a detailed report on the feasibility of allowing Rana to speak to his family every month and asked the authorities to list the conditions that would need to be imposed on him.
