Headley’s eighth visit to India was from 1st to 31st July the same year. He finalised the surveillance of The Taj hotel, standing outside the Northcote nursing home, and videotaped the hotel entrance just across the road from there. He viewed the nursing home as a prospective target and noticed that it didn’t seem to have many patients visiting it. He did, however, observe that there were some guards, and an alert and capable looking security officer in a dark safari suit. The guards appeared to be on post at a door, which was obviously fortified, and whenever it opened David could see another guard at a small table, and a metal grill beyond.
