BANGALORE: Bangalore Police on Thursday denied that they had sent to Australian authorities any dossier on Dr Mohammed Haneef that linked him to Al-Qaida.
Reacting to reports in a section of the Australian media that said the city police had provided a dossier on Haneef, which contained information on his alleged links with Al-Qaida, a senior police official said: "The reports are blatantly false and misleading. We have not sent any such dossier."
The Australian authorities had not sought any information from police here on this issue, the official said on condition of anonymity.
"We cannot send any report to any foreign agency unless it is routed through the proper channel," another official clarified.
Asked whether the probe by police here had thrown up evidence of links between Haneef and any militant outfit, he said, "So far we have not been able to establish any such links."
Referring to the ongoing probe into the activities of Haneef's cousin Kafeel Ahmed and his brother Sabeel, currently under arrest in Britain on charges of being in the know of the failed terror plot in UK, the official said, "We will continue to quiz people when required."
Kafeel allegedly drove a blazing jeep into the Glasgow airport during a botched terror attack.
