The Australian Federal Police (AFP) may be trying their best to prove that Dr Mohammed Haneef is guilty. But the Indian doctor played a good samaritan to AFP and bailed it  from the trouble over the alleged writing on his personal diary.

Haneef, who is an accused in the failed UK terror plot, has voluntarily clarified that the AFP detectives did not write in his diary during interrogation, as reported in a section of the Australian media.

“Our client (Haneef) voluntarily clarified that the allegation against AFP is not true and that the detectives while questioning him wrote the names of his second cousins (Kafeel Ahemd and Sabeel Ahmed) and their address on a separate piece of paper,” Haneef’s Barrister Stephen Keim told Deccan Herald over phone from Brisbane on Monday.

Haneef’s clarification  saved AFP from the trouble to prove that there was no mistake on its part, the barrister said. Haneef’s legal team, including Mr Keim, had accused the AFP of playing a trick to trap its client.

Stephen Keim also said that the media report on the diary was incorrect. “We have learnt that AFP detectives wrote on a separate piece of paper and not the diary. The detectives while questioning my client, had asked a question as to whether it was his handwriting... And Haneef said no. This conversation had been misinterpreted by the local media in Brisbane,” the Barrister explained.
