Mumbai, May 25 (IANS) Shiv Sena activist Rajaram Rege, named by Pakistani-American David Coleman Headley in a US court, Wednesday denied that he had kept his meetings with the Lashkar-e-Taiba operative under wraps and disclosed that he had already been interrogated, a media report said.

Traced by a private television channel here, Rege denied that he kept his meetings hidden.

"In fact, I have already been interrogated on this by NIA (National Investigation Agency) and they asked me not to speak about it," Rege claimed in a telephonic interview with the Star Group.

The developments came barely hours after the Shiv Sena late Tuesday admitted the existence of a party worker by the name of Rajaram Rege. The party had earlier denied it had an activist by his name.

Rege said that he is a computer software and hardware professional and offered his voluntary services to the Shiv Sena to solve people's problems.

Headley had spoken of an effort to penetrate into the Shiv Sena by communicating with Rege.
