MUMBAI:
After Rahul Bhatt, the names of few other film personalities have cropped up in David Headley case, including an actress who went out for dinner with him.
Sources said they came in contact with Headley through Rahul Bhatt and other common friends. Most of them met at Moksh fitness centre at Breach Candy where Headley used to work out. However crime branch officials said they have no information about any Bollywood personality being associated with Headley.
The source indicated that these film personalities will be questioned along with Rahul Bhatt by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). Headley befriended the actors and partied with few of them, sources said. It could be possible that they were not aware of his terror links.
The actress in question was paired with some of the leading Bollywood actors. However, her family members told TOI that the actress was never introduced to Headley. "Its just a coincidence that they went to the same gym. My daughter has never heard about Headley," her mother said.
The other actor known as a serial kisser had also reportedly met Headley. The actor told TOI all questions about his links with Headley be directed to NIA. Rahul landed in a controversy after American investigating agency FBI found that Headley had used his name in his communication with his Pakistani counterparts. Rahul was a codename used for Mumbai.

American terrorist David Headley visited India and Left for Pakistan Before 26/11 attacks in Mumbai
NEW DELHI:
Suspected American terrorist David Headley had stayed in a hotel in the national capital just months before the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai.
According to the passport details of Headley, he had visited the national capital and Mumbai during April last year. He had then left for Pakistan.
Headley was arrested by the FBI for suspected links with the banned terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which had carried out the Mumbai carnage last year that left about 180 people dead.
Sources said Central security agencies are also investigating Headley's suspected links to terror outfit Indian Mujhaideen, which had carried out a series of bomb attacks across the country, including in Rajasthan and Delhi, that left over 170 people dead.
Home Minister P Chidambaram had said yesterday that besides Headley, the National Investigating Agency had registered a case against his Canadian accomplice Tahawwur Hussain Rana.
The duo was booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and for conspiring to wage war against the country.
Maintaining that Headley had visited India several times before 26/11 and once after the Mumbai terror strikes, Chidambaram had said, "We are conducting investigations in the cities he visited to find out whom he met and what he did."
The Mumbai attack last November left 183 persons dead. A top Home Ministry official has claimed that the investigators had enough evidence to show Headley's link with LeT and the Government is all set to produce the documents before a US court in January next and press for his extradition to India.
"We will press for his extradition to India with the evidence," the official said.
The investigators were now trying to find out whether Headley and his accomplice Rana, also arrested in the US, were involved in the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai and whether handlers of the duo and Mumbai attackers were the same.
