Mumbai Mayhem: Headley visa papers missing

Headley visa papers missing, probe on
The government has sought a factual report from the consulate in Chicago on the reported disappearance of visa papers of Mumbai terror conspirators David Coleman Headley and Tahawwur Rana, foreign secretary Nirupam Rao said on Wednesday. India will also seek access to the two men, Rao said, but did not comment on charges about Headley being a double agent.

The consulate in Chicago had issued visas to Headley, a US national of Pakistani origin and Rana, a Canadian citizen of Pakistani origin to travel to India. “I have sought a factual report from our consul general in Chicago,” Rao said.

Rana and Headley had made several trips to Indian cities between 2006 and 2008 and allegedly helped Lashkar-e-Tayyeba operatives in Pakistan plan the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.

Comment: All Indian consulate staff in foreign countries must be investigated by CBI for corruption and taking bribes for visa issuance. This has become the norm and culture of MEA staff in and out of the country and needs to be nipped drasticlly to reduce more terror strikes and preserve our National Intergrity.
