LeTâs âRahulâ is Mahesh Bhattâs son
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The mysterious name, Rahul, mentioned extensively in LeT operative David Coleman Headleyâs e-mails to handlers in Pakistan has finally been identified. Itâs neither Shah Rukh Khan nor Rahul Gandhi, <b>but the son of famous filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt.</b>
And nor is Rahul Bhatt, 25, a fitness instructor and a body builder, on the LeT hit list; he is in fact a friend of Headley who was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Chicago last month.
However, investigating agencies, who have already questioned Rahul, have almost given him a clean chit, saying that he appears to be innocent.
An officer privy to the investigations said, âHe has admitted to being friends with Headley. But, in all probability, he didnât know Headleyâs actual background and took him to be a foreign national in India on a job. That was exactly the guise Headley had been living under in India between 2006 and 2009.â
It has also come to light that it was Rahul who helped Headley rent a flat near Breach Candy hospital.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->When contacted, Rahulâs father Mahesh Bhatt neither confirmed nor denied that his son had been questioned by the police in connection with the Headley case. He simply said, âThis is an issue of national security and not something trivial related to Bollywood. Ask agencies that deal with national security. I will not say anything more.â<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Expect this to be shoved under the rug given the Bollywood influence on political landscape.
