The rule is, you need a transit visa (even though you are staying airside, and even though no one will check when you are at LHR) UNLESS you have a valid, current US visa. For example, on your return, if your US visa has expired you will need a UK transit visa.

No one will check at LHR, but the airlines are required to enforce the rules at boarding.

In an important matter like this, you should not trust random FT members, and you should not ask some random phone agent at Jet Airways. You should get your information directly from the relevant authorities. It is very easy to find the relevant web page: https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa
