ShareAhmedabad, Ahmedabad: The Gujarat police has finally got some lead in the investigation about US national David Coleman Headley and Tahawwura Hussain Rana's visit to the city.
The duo, believed to be members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), was arrested by the FBI in the US for terror acts. It has been found that during his visit to the city, Rana had interviewed people, who were keen on going abroad, on November 18 and 19, 2008.
The Gujarat police is now busy tracing all the people whom Rana interviewed and even those who might have managed to get a 'job' somewhere.
Sources in the police department told DNA that the police is currently investigating the people who were interviewed by Rana during the interview held on November 18 and 19, 2008.
"The police are trying to trace the people who were interviewed to find if any of them were given any specific input by Rana and Headley," the source said.
The police so far has no clue about whether Rana managed to send somebody abroad or was able to get the sort of recruit he was looking for.
Primary investigations have revealed that Rana along with Headley had also stayed in a Kalupur Hotel near the railway station. The police is also trying to get information about people who might have helped the duo and provided logistic support.
Though the police is yet to zero in on any one particular person, several people have been interrogated in this connection. Rana and Headley are believed to be in contact with the agents of the sleeper cells of the Indian Mujahideen in the city.
Detection of Crime Branchmay soon interrogate the accused arrested in connection with the Ahmedabad serial blasts.
A source close to the development told that the DCB apparently wants to know if Headley and Rana had contacted any of the arrested or helped them in the blast. Officials of DCB are yet to confirm the development. The police are investigating Headley and Rana's link with the Ahmedabad blasts.
