Mumbai Anita Uddaiya, the woman who saw the six terrorists involved in the November 26 terror attacks arrive in the city, claims she was taken to the US and questioned by investigating agencies there.

"I was informed that the (US) officers who questioned me about the Mumbai attacks here earlier would take me to America. They came on Sunday morning and had taken me to America in a flight," Uddaiya said.

"I had lied to the police when I returned home stating that I went to Satara district as the officers told me not to disclose anything about my visit to America," Uddaiya said.

Uddaiya went missing on Sunday morning and returned to Mumbai yesterday at around 1.30 AM to her home.

She had seen the terrorists land in a rubber dinghy on the beach at the colony. But when she asked them where they had come from, she was told to mind her own business.

Giving details, she said on Saturday at around 10.00 PM, the investigating officers were supposed to come to her home.

"Since we were informed about Uddiaya's America visit, we sat with her throughout the night waiting for the American investigators. Nobody turned up till morning 5 AM. At that time, Uddaiya went to toilet from where she was whisked away by the investigators," said Madhusudhan Nair, president of Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Nagar slum area where Uddaiya resides.

Uddaiya said four officers were inside the posh vehicle and one of them knew Hindi.

"First, I was taken to St George Hospital to see my husband Rajendra. I told him that I would return home in a couple of days," Uddaiya said.

Anita;s advernture by Mousee on 17 Jan 2009

Clearly, Anitais not a patriot, else she would have refused to go anywhere with foreigners and only would have talked to Indian police/investigative agencies. The Pakis did a great job here by fooling her to belief that she was taken by Americans and certainly brainwashed her. Now her testimony is worth nothing!

Anita by rammohan on 16 Jan 2009

What a shame? If she can be whisked away by CIA, she can be whisked away by ISI also tomorrow. May be our HM will hand over the lone Kasab also to ISI for completing their investigation. Now anyone in our NIA or so many security agencies what this lady told to them from US. Who knows it is USA, she never traveled outside India or accompanied by none.Our FM shall answer who these Americans are and who authorized them to take this lady to USA.

Still you Indians think , you deserve a permenant seat in UNSC?

How many cheeks do we have, Congress? by Shashank Vagal on 16 Jan 2009

I am reminded of an old story, MKG was very very proud of passing it all around: If some one slaps you on one cheek, present him the other, then the the first again (it is assumed there are only 2 cheeks available to you, on your own, i.e.) and the other again. This should go on till the one who is on the giving end dies out of frustration or fatigue.

Of course its possible - and even likely by Anon on 16 Jan 2009

What's so strange? IF they wanted her here for any reason - for example, special experts or equipment, or that she might tell more truth here, or whatever else, why not just put her on a private plane? It happens all the time here in US. You guys just lack the ability to think of what other parts of the world are like, and are stuck with an "ooohhhh, they wont FLY her to the USA" attitude. Spending a few tens of thousands of dollars is lunch money to a lot of people, and government agencies. If it had even a slight chance of shedding just a little light on killing of 6 US citizens, they would not hesitate for a minute to spend the money. Get out of your small time thinking.

Anita the human eye witness of Taj terror attack etc.... by Maya Kodnani on 16 Jan 2009

She must have been taken to ULHAS NAGAR SINDHI ASSOCIATION i,e,USA of Bombay,

cruel joke by Indian on 16 Jan 2009

It's a shame on part of our security system that anybody can do anything with our people without the knowledge of our security system or the government machinery importing / exporting anything inclouding human being and it cannot be happened in any country even in Pakistan. This shows our sheer negligency and serious security lapses. Perhaps it would have been done with the knwledge of our Interior / exterior ministries because nobody can leave the airport without proper passport / visas and i strongly believe that the lady Uddaiya would have eny of these. Hats off to our government machinery and security that they have / have'nt the knowledge of the news

Comment by Tejaswi on 16 Jan 2009

Taken to a place 8000 miles away for interrogaton?Why??? When they can question in India itself?Defies all logic?????? I think the US Inteiilence is secretive.This is no good for India.

Anita says she was taken to US, questioned there by Shirish on 16 Jan 2009

The story needs urgent explanation from the emigration officials, Government- both Central and State, Police. Can any one come to India and take away any person- or an important person being a witness to the landing of terrorists on Mumbai soil? It's a sick and cruel joke and a part of all great farce going on in India since 26 /11. A part of this opera also had (A) Satyam episode starring Raju family and God knows who all Politicians and at what level. This all leads to conclusion that the country is being run by the goondas, Fraudsters, cheaters and common man will always be at risk everywhere.

Beware of American Hegemony by Mustafa Sarshaar on 16 Jan 2009

The biggest threat to the present world is American Hegemony. They do whatever they want for their selfish gains. America do not care about India , Pakistan or Georgia or Ethiopia or any country. they just do unjustifiable and unethical things which helps them achieve their selfish goals . To achieve their hidden goals they can do bloodshed and carnage of innocent people. They can play politics between different nations in different regions of the world. like America is playing politics between India and Pakistan to gain larger goals in our region the South Asia. They have hidden agendas thats why they always interfere in our regional politics. We citizens of World should be aware of this sword of Damocles which is there ready to kill any of us. Our Govenrment should not be puppets in the hands of America otherwise our Soverignty will be sold to them and they will make our Governments dance to their tunes. Beware Citizens of the World.

What a joke. I cannot believe what I read. by DMK pvt ltd. on 16 Jan 2009

Very interesting! US and even the craps like Pakis can do anything inside India at theri will. Is there a government governing in India? Who is in control of this nation of Useless People Allover called UPA.

Anita Uddaiya questioned in America> by John Jacobs on 16 Jan 2009

If Anita Uddaiya's story is indeed true, it marks the lowest point India's self respect has fallen. It is beyond anybody's imagination how New Delhi could allow a citizen of thecountry to be questioned in a foreign land as witness to a crime committed in India? Welcome as the American help is in uncovering the identity of the invaders, the authorities should have seen to it that Indian Police protocols were not imposed on by aliens. The ease with which the Americans whisked away the lady and the increasing audacity of David Miliband in proffering advice, seem to suggest that India has yielded to the West's domination. Is the nuclear accord reached with the US proving to be India's Achilles heel?

To Mars and back by skeptic on 16 Jan 2009

This story is not true. India and US are partners in many ways. Why would the woman be flown to the US? What a waste of money ! Why not question her in the US embassy if the US wanted privacy. This story just doesnt add up.
