The Bangalore police are now harassing Haneef based on an Australian politicians remarks. The Australian prosecution authorities would never have dropped the charges against Haneef if they felt there was any substance in the politicians allegations. This material was first available to the prosecutors, before being passed on to the politician. Since when have a politicians views usurped the legal opinion of a prosecution authority ? But then why should the B'lore police miss out a chance to extort money from Haneef, so as not to 'harass' him?
