"I am going back with the hope these will be further investigated based on the leads given by Headly, and as I've said in my statement that, if it could help to unravel the conspiracy and if it could help in trying to go after the perpetrators of the Mumbai attack, perhaps that could be the biggest confidence building measure that could be taken," said Krishna.
