New Delhi, Nov 11 (PTI) As investigations revealed David Headley's several visits to India, the Centre today asked five states, including Delhi and Maharashtra, to be on alert as the suspected terrorist may have done a recce of some vital installations for carrying out strikes.

Home Ministry sources said the alerts had been issued as a precautionary measure to the states after it was found during investigations that Headley had visited India nine times during 2006-09.

During his trips to India, Headley, who has been arrested by the FBI on October 3 on charges of conspiring to carry out terror strikes in and outside the US, had visited Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Agra and Delhi besides establishing an office in Mumbai.

The sources said Headley, a US national, had done a recce of National Defence College and vital installations in other cities.
