Headley worked for Americans and for the FBI: Rahul Bhatt

Prasun Sonwalkar and H S Rao
London, Jan 27 (PTI) Rahul Bhatt, son of prominent Indian
film director Mahesh Bhatt, is "convinced" that
Pakistani-American Lashker-e-Taiba (LeT) operative, David
Headley was working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) when he was in Mumbai before the 26/11 terror attacks.

"I'm convinced Headley was working for the Americans, for
the FBI. I'd nicknamed him agent Headley," Rahul said in an
interview to UK's Channel 4.
"It was the Americans' deepest wish to infiltrate
al-Qaeda. And David did exactly that for them. I had a hunch
then and I have a hunch now that he was an American agent of
some sort," Rahul said.
"You know, he even begged me to stop calling him 'Agent
Headley' in public. It really pissed him off. Now I know why,"
Rahul was quoted as saying by Channel 4 News.
"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.
"I feel hurt, because it’s a sort of rape when you have a
close friend who ... (does not finish sentence). I have
stopped trusting people," he said.
Rahul became friendly with Headley during his stay in
India as a surveillance scout for the Lashkar-e-Taiba, prior
to the 26/11 attack in Mumbai.
Rahul and his associate Vilas Varak were trainers at the
gym 'Moksh' in Mumbai and met Headley during his visits there.
