The American was later spotted in Goa. An inspection of his travel documents astonished the security officials who found that he has been living in India on a tourist visa for the previous nine years.

“He has been doing everything – setting up a business, running a massage parlor, tourist centre etc,” they said.

The couple has been questioned by the NIA which has recorded their statement. The American and his friend admitted to knowing the Moroccan woman, who according to the security agencies, was in Manali doing an investigation of a Jewish centre.

49-year-old Headley was under arrest on October 3 for plotting terror strikes in India at the command of Pakistan-based LeT. Headley has been charge-sheeted by the FBI for being part of the criminal plot behind the 26/11 in Mumbai attacks.
