Indian investigators wanted to interrogate Headley and Rana, and a team from New Delhi went to the US earlier this month. But the US did not allow access citing legal compulsions.
Information on US terror suspect David Coleman Headley's links with several people in the country, including Rahul, son of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and some diplomats, are expected to be shared by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) during a visit by its team to India later this week.
After handing over preliminary affidavits and some brief information, the FBI informed its Indian counterparts that more information would be made available only after
further interrogation of US-born Headley and his Pakistani-Canadian accomplice Tahawwur Hussain Rana.
Indian security agencies had sought all the details of Headley's links with Rahul, gym instructor Vilas Varak, some diplomats and business personalities who were allegedly
misused by the terror suspect, sources said today.
Headley and Rana were arrested by the FBI from Chicago last month for allegedly plotting terror strikes in Denmark and India. However, Rana's advocate has denied the allegations.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) probing the case has already recorded the statements of various people, including Varak, during which he told investigators about
Headley's activities Headley. The US terror suspect had changed his name from Daood Gilani to Headley in 2006, to avoid raising suspicion.
Indian investigators wanted to interrogate Headley and Rana, for which a team from New Delhi went to the US earlier this month. But the US did not allow access citing legal
compulsions.
India had, through various channels, asked the FBI some questions about Headley's association with Rahul Bhatt and some Mumbai-based businessmen.
The visit of the FBI team will come after a high-level meeting between prime minister Manmohan Singh and US president Barack Obama in Washington last week.
National security adviser MK Narayanan said yesterday that the US president had told the prime minister that he would be sending a high-level FBI team to India within
a week with "all details".
