Papers related to issue of visas to Headley, Rana not missing: Indian Consulate in Chicago

The Indian Consulate in Chicago today said the papers related to issuance of visas to terror suspects David Coleman Headley and Tahawwur Rana had not gone missing and the relevant information in this regard is available with the Indian government. The official's remarks comes in the wake of recent media reports that papers on the basis of which Headley and Rana were issued visas by the Consulate may have gone mysteriously missing. Commenting on the report, Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao yesterday said in New Delhi that she had asked for a factual report from Chicago's Consulate General on the issue.<br/><br/>American national of Pakistani origin Headley and Canadian-Pakistani Rana, both arrested by FBI for plotting terror attacks in India, travelled to India on multi-entry visas issued by the Indian mission. The visas were issued at the discretion of the Consul General in Chicago. While Headley was issued a five-year multi-entry business visa in July 2007, Rana was given a one-year business visa. <br/><br/><br/>
