American national and LeT terror suspect David Headley had stayed in a hotel close to a Jewish centre here during his visits to the Osha Ashram in the city in 2008-9.
 
Headley's stay at hotel 'Surya Villa' on March 16 this year, when he also visited the Osho commune in the vicinity, is being looked into by police, sources close to investigating teams said today.
