New Delhi: The Australian Federal Police has rejected media reports that detained Indian doctor Mohammed Haneef was planning an attacks on an Australian target.

But the Australian government is reported to be keen on deporting Haneef to India at the earliest.

Haneef can now breathe a sigh of relief. The Australian Federal Police has rejected recent media reports that Haneef was planning an attack on a building in Gold Coast.

AFP Commissioner Mick Keelty says the report is baseless. Many Australian leaders want the case shut down fearing political fallout.

Three weeks now Haneef’s family in Bangalore has been clinging on to hope that he will come out of this entire episode untarnished and now the news that some of the evidence against him is false coupled with the political backlash against his detention in Australia has renewed the family's hope that hw would return home soon.

While his family is happy over the prospect of his return, his wife Firdaus wants her husband to be cleared of all charges before he comes back.

"I want him to get free of all the charges before being deported to India," Firdaus says.

Meanwhile Haneef’s relative Imran Siddiqui, has arrived in Brisbane. He is hoping to meet Haneef at the earliest.

Siddiqui says, “We know him as a very good person. We hope he will be released soon.”

It’s a meeting Haneef will surely look forward to because Siddiqui has taken with him, a photograph of Haneef's baby daughter, whom he has never seen before.
