New Delhi: Bollywood director Mahesh Bhatt's son Rahul Bhatt claims that he was convinced terror suspect David Coleman Headley worked for the American agencies.
"I'm convinced Headley was working for the Americans, for the FBI. I'd nicknamed him agent Headley," Rahul claimed in an interview to UK's Channel 4.
"He was a great guy. He was charming, had a great sense of humour and was caring, sensitive and very well-informed. I feel hurt. I liked hanging out with him because he could teach me things about my areas of interest, be it guns, intelligence, spy-craft," said Rahul.
Rahul became friendly with Lashkar-e-Toiba operative Headley during his stay in India.
The half American-half Pakistani Headley, who changed his name from Daood Geelani to David Coleman Headley in 2006, is one of the prime accused in a Chicago court in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack.
Even though the Federal Bureau of Investigation has given the latest photo of Headley to India but the agency is yet to grant access to Indian investigative agencies to the key conspirator in the 26/11 attacks.
Headley was arrested in the US in October 2009 by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force at O'Hare International Airport before boarding a flight to Philadelphia, intending to travel on to Pakistan.
He was held for plotting terror attacks on behalf of the Lashkar-e-Toiba against India and on charges of plotting a terror attack against the facilities and employees of the Danish newspaper which had published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in 2005.
