The revelation comes as an Intelligence Bureau and Research & Analysis Wing team leaves for the US next week to meet FBI officials in connection with the arrest of the LeT operative.
"We do not have many details yet," the source said over the phone, " but we have gathered that the ' Rahul' mentioned in the FBI affidavit could most possibly be Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan. We presume he was codenamed thus because his characters are often named Rahul in many of the movies he has acted in." The affidavit was filed by the FBI in a Chicago court, and mentions that Headley, in an email on July 8, said, " I think when we get a chance we should revisit our last location again and say Hi to Rahul." The email was addressed to a senior LeT leader whose name the FBI merely put as ' LeT Individual A'. Headley had confessed to the FBI that ' Rahul' referred to a “prominent Indian actor" but had not divulged his real name.
He even asked the LeT leader he was conversing with whether he should stay in Rahul's city for long, to which the leader responded that it would take around two to four weeks and added he had real estate plans for a place outside Rahul's city.
Meanwhile, in New Delhi on Thursday, home minister P. Chidambaram confirmed that the government is “working with the FBI to follow up on what needs to be done in India while they are investigating what needs to be done in the US". He also added that the FBI had shared with India documents, like the complaint and affidavit filed by it in the court, a little while before they were made public.
Headley was arrested by the FBI earlier this month at Chicago's O'Hare airport while boarding a flight to Philadelphia scheduled to land in Pakistan.
