The family of Dr Mohammad Haneef, who was declared innocent after being wrongfully confined on terror charges in Australia, is elated. When contacted, His family members in Bengaluru said that they were elated with the decision of the Australian government. They expressed hope that Dr Haneef would now start leading a normal life.The doctor, who hails from Bengaluru, was wrongfully accused of being involved in the Glasgow terror plot.
In a major relief for Indian doctor Mohammad Haneef, who was wrongly accused on terror charges in Australia, the country's police dropped its probe into the case on Friday. "At the present time, there is insufficient evidence to institute proceedings against Dr Haneef for any criminal offence," said Australian Federal Police in a statement. "The AFP has concluded its active inquiries, although some overseas inquiries are yet to be fully resolved," it added.
"I want to return to Australia and fight for my visa. I want the Immigration minister to come forward and make things clear," he said.
The Australia federal court upheld a judge's decision to reinstate the work visa of the Indian doctor who was wrongly accused of links to the failed British terror plot five months ago and forced to leave the country.
Haneef, who was working in Gold Coast Hospital in Australia, returned to India in July last year after being cleared of terror charges in the botched Glasgow airport suicide attack in the UK. The Australian government withdrew all the charges and restored his visa a few days ago.
The decision was handed down in Melbourne while Haneef's legal team watched via video link in Brisbane.
For someone, who is termed by his relatives as a very hard working boy, sitting at home will be quite painful. Haneef says that even after being cleared of terrorism charges, he still wanted to go back to Australia and work there.
Haneef's lawyers said details of the conversations were old news, raised during Haneef's successful bail application in June.
During the interview Haneef talks about his relationship with his cousins Kafeel and Sabeel, allegedly involved in the terror plot in the UK
'I want him to come back with the reputation he had left India with,' says Firdous Ashriya.
The somber note marking Sabeel's impending return is in sharp contrast to the return of his cousin Dr Haneef Mohammad, who had returned to a rousing welcome organised by his family members, after he was absolved of terror charges by the Australian government.
The question that the general public is asking is why the Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy did not react to the deaths of the two soldiers?
