Headley visited Osho Ashram in Pune
Pune, Nov 17 (PTI) American terror suspect David
Headley visited the 'Osho Ashram' here in Pune (in India's
western state of Maharashtra) twice during 2008-2009, a top
police official said Tuesday.
"Headley stayed in the city for a day in June 2008 and
March 2009 and visited the Ashram, frequented by foreigners,"
Ravindra Sengaonkar, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP),
Crime, told PTI.
According to Ashram officials, he visited the
establishment at Koregaon Park for meditation, he said.
Headley, accused of masterminding terror attacks in
India at the behest of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), is believed to
have visited Pune on a business visa and left for commercial
hub of Mumbai later, police sources said.
A team of National Investigation Agency (NIA) sleuths
which recently visited the city in connection with the probe
has provided details of Headley's visit here, they added.
A spokesperson of Osho Ashram Amirti Sadhna said the
Ashram was open to all and visited by thousands of people for
meditation.
"It is possible that Headley may have come here. We
are fully cooperating with police in the investigations," she
said.
NIA had registered a case on November 11 against
49-year-old Pakistan-born US citizen David Headley and his
Canadian accomplice Tahawwur Hussain Rana, after their arrest
in Chicago last month by the FBI for allegedly plotting terror
attacks in India. PTI HBJ
