The Karnataka police have just issued a denial of providing any such dossier to Australia. As the official states, any request has to come officially and any information is to be provided officially. Looks like the Australian government is desperate to cover up its own mistakes, at any cost. If they really felt Haneef was a terror suspect, would they ever have dropped all charges and let him return to India? Highly impossible. Haneef must claim huge compensatory damages from the Australian government. At the same time he ought to express his eternal gratitude to the Australian public and media for their untiring support without which, he would not be a free man today. The Indian prosecuting agencies would never have admitted to a mistake and dropped charges which is why so many innocent undertrials are languishing in jails here, pending the outcome of their trials.

"Haneef must claim huge compensatory damages from the Australian government." Yes, for not starting a terror cell and saving the lives of aus public from bomb related deaths.

The fact that he is involved in the blasts in some way or the other is obvious to all but the blind.
The only question is what was the extent of his involvement and what should be the quantum of punishment.
Let the investigations go on; why are you in such a hurry to clear his name?
