  • The Gujarat Police on Thursday said they have no information or record about the visit of American terror suspect David Coleman Headley to the state. “We do not have any information on him (Headley). It has been said in the media that he had come to Ahmedabad, but we have had no communication from the Centre or the FBI in this regard,” said Director General of Police S S Khandwawala. “We are awaiting information on him from the agencies concerned, following which we could investigate further.”

    About reports of activity of Headley in the state, the DGP said there was no information in this regard.

    In the backdrop of Headley’s several visits to India between 2006 and 2009, the Centre had yesterday issued alerts to Gujarat, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Maharashtra as a precautionary measure.

    During investigations, it was found that Headley had visited Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Agra, Delhi and might have done a recce of vital installations in other cities.

    The sources had said there was a possibility that Headley had established sleeper cells in these states. Headley was arrested last month by the FBI for allegedly hatching a conspiracy with Pak-based terror outfit LeT to carry out strikes inside and outside the US.

    Gujarat Police is not vigilant enough to keep close watch on terorist activitiesBy: Divyesh Raythatha | 13-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward Gujarat police seems to be a big failure in keeping close watch on terrorism. Probably, Gujarat police have been famous for fake encounters and violation of human rights during Gujarat riots of 2002. Now, this is the time to improve upon their performance and be vigilant.
