NIA records statement of Gym instructor in Headley case

Sumir Kaul
Mumbai, Nov 23 (PTI) Vilas Warack, a gym instructor
who met terror suspect David Coleman Headley along with
filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt's son Rahul, was Monday questioned
by the the National Investigation Agency (NIA) probing the LeT
plot to carry out major strikes in India.
The agency recorded the statement of Warack on how he
knew Headley, who was arrested by the FBI in the US last month
for planning attacks on the National Defence College in Delhi,
Doon school in Dehradun and Woodstock school in Mussoorie, at
the behest of LeT, official sources said Monday.
Warack, who worked as an instructor at Moksha Gym
frequented by Headley, was asked about the locations the
American visited and names of persons whom he met there.
The sources said that Warack was a little nervous but
responded to the questions.
The agency had registered a case against Headley for
allegedly plotting terror attacks in India, as the Government
said it had enough evidence to show he had links with the
Pakistan-based Lashker-e-Taiba (LeT).
Headley and Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a US-based
Pakistan-born Canadian national, were booked under the
Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and for conspiring to
wage a war against the country.
Warack met Headley at the high profile gym where he
was working as an instructor. Warack has admitted to having
introduced Headley to Rahul Bhatt. (More) PTI
