As investigators try to reconstruct the sequence of events that took place during the stay of U.S. terror plotter David Coleman Headley in India last year, the focus of the ongoing probe appears to have shifted on Wednesday to ascertaining and verifying the reported links of Headley with some Bollywood personalities.
Apart from phone and hotel records, sleuths of the National Investigation Agency (NIA), camping in Mumbai since last Saturday, are verifying the contacts which Headley was said to have established during his stay in the mega city. Sources in the government said the effort was to trace the persons with whom he had met last year, days before 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai. The sources said that Rahul Bhatt, son of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, was a witness than a suspect and three others who had come in contact with Headley were also being asked about their meetings with the U.S. national. ``Some encounters of Headley may have been by pure chance or in a casual manner, while some others could have been planned. We have to collect and verify all such bits of information. It is a painstaking investigation and nothing can be said at this stage with certainty,’’ the sources said.
