Prime witness Marukh Rohington, who could complete jigsaw puzzle about terror suspect's role, has no security coverShe is one of the prime witnesses in David Headley's involvement in the Mumbai terror attacks.
But despite being privy to confidential information in the terror suspect's visa agency in Tardeo, Marukh Rohington (35), Headley's Parsi secretary, has no security cover.
Rohington, a fair, slightly stout lady, continues to go for her evening walks alone in her colony in the city.
There is no security cover for Rohington and her residential colony too has just three unarmed watchmen.

The Crime Branch team under Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria and National Investigation Agency (NIA) sleuths questioned Rohington about her association with Headley.
"She was very cooperative. The officials have asked her not to speak to anyone," said Rohington's relative.
According to sources, "Rohington did not have an inkling that Headley was a terror mastermind.
The American citizen behaved like a professional in his Immigrant Law Centre office at AC Market in Tardeo. She believed he had business interests in India."
Rohington was floored by Headley's charm after she was asked to sign some documents. The papers are now part of the investigations.
"Rohington is aware of all the activities at the Tardeo office, including interviews of candidates recruited.
This makes Rohington's role as a witness even more crucial," explained a senior investigating officer on the condition of anonymity.
ManhuntNIA officials have also launched a manhunt for two Naval personnel, who escorted Headley to Ahmedabad during his stint in India.
Naval spokesperson Captain Manohar Nambiar said, "I don't know anything about this." Rakesh Maria was not available for comment.

Headley's Mumbai Stint
According to immigration records available with RAW sleuths, David Headley was in Mumbai between July 8 and September 10 last year. He returned on January 22 and went back to the US on March 10, 2009.
The findings corroborate the National Security Guard's (NSG) investigation after the terror strike.
The NSG had stumbled upon specific recordings, which proved that a separate cell provided information to LeT terrorists about the city.
