Mahesh Bhatt's son questioned on Headley link



Mumbai police have questioned Bollywood filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt's son Rahul for his alleged friendship with David Coleman Headley, the Pakistan-born US national who is in FBI custody as a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) suspect.

Rahul Bhatt, a fitness instructor, was let off after questioning as he was unaware of Headley's terror links, said sources in the Mumbai Police.

According to sources, during questioning Rahul admitted to having known Headley and also helping him rent a flat near Breach Candy Hospital.

However, the filmmaker's son was unaware of Headley's actual background and took him to be a foreign national in India on a job.

There were several references to "Rahul" in Headley's e-mail exchanges with his Pakistani handlers that sent the security establishment into a tizzy.

Information provided by the FBI has revealed that Headley operated a visa agency in Mumbai for almost two years until July 2008 and had travelled to India on business visas nine times between 2006 and 2009.

When contacted, Mahesh Bhatt neither confirmed nor denied that his son had been questioned by police in connection with the Headley case.

"This is an issue of national security and not something trivial related to Bollywood. Ask the agencies that deal with national security. I will not say anything more," Bhatt told a television channel.

Investigators initially feared that the 'Rahul' reference was to Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi but Home Minister P. Chidambaram promptly denied this. There was even speculation that it could be a code name for Shah Rukh Khan, who has played characters named Rahul in several films.

Headley and his alleged accomplice Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a Canadian citizen of Pakistani origin, are being held on charges of plotting attacks in India at the behest of Lashkar.

Intelligence shared by the FBI following the interrogation of Headley revealed that two of India's most prestigious boarding schools -- Doon in Dehradun and Woodstock in Mussoorie -- and the National Defence College in New Delhi were supposed Lashkar targets.

India will ask the US to extradite Headley after the FBI files its report in January.

It is surprising at most times that even someone sitting so close, next to you can emerge as someone unexpecting.

omg !!!!!!!! this is THE rahul?

OMG this is the most shocking news and issue that India has to resolve and never thought that people like Rahul Bhatt could be involved with such people !! Disgusting !! 😲

so finally they were able to identify the "Rahul"......if he is really not involved in any terror activities than i feel for the guy. Because of his association, however innocent, with Headley he will always be looked upon suspiciously.

if he is involved then the law says that person should be punished according to his crimes whether now he may be suspiously released on the grounds of money power !! These people being made of money especially The old man Mahesh Bhutt !! How many celebs from bollywood have commited crimes and got away with murder !! The great example are in front of us all !! He has murdered so many innocents and destroyed the the public property !! 😲

Rahul is not involved with David Headly. He knew him from a common friend and helped him in a renting an apartment.

Well he is still under probe, and has not been given a clean chit as claimed by his family.

CBI and FBI should grill Rahul. Mr David Coleman Headley would have not revealed his name without having friendship, if it is proved, then such guys should be punished without delay. First arrange Nacro Analysis Test for Rahul. These so called big guys are threat to India !! This issue is our national security and country issue which if Rahul is innocent then Good he has no worries !! No innocent person is punished in the court if he has done no crime !! Then again no one can point a fingure at someone with out any proof !! The law needs proof the court needs proof !! Lets hope if he is innocent he get a clean chit !!
