Riyadh: Saudi police Wednesday released an Indian doctor Usman Ghani, suspected of having ties with terror elements, after clearance of charges from him. The doctor was detained for 20 days.
Talking to media, Ghani’s mother, Fatima Khan said, “I am grateful to the Saudi police for releasing my son Sunday and clearing him of charges that he had links with terror elements when he was in India four years ago.”
Ghani, 36, who works at a military hospital in Riyadh, was picked up by the Saudi police from his home at the behest of the Indian government on the advice of Karnataka Police, Fatima alleged.
“My prayers have been answered by Allah! I want to profoundly thank the Saudi government, especially its embassy in New Delhi for conducting the inquiry expeditiously and finding that my son had no connection with terror suspects as alleged,” Fathima said.
Ghani went to the Saudi kingdom in late 2008 to join the National Guard hospital in Riyadh as an anaesthetist after working for over three years in Bangalore hospitals.
“It was heartening to speak to Ghani Monday after three weeks and to know that he is at home with his wife (Rashida). I am looking forward to meet them soon as I have applied for a Saudi visa,” Fatima said.
Earlier, the Saudi government had deported three Indians suspected of having ties with Pakistan based militant outfit, Lashkar-e-Tayyaba, which were later arrested by authorities in India.
It is to be mentioned that here that the step of deporting Indians was seen as a clear indication of increased cooperation between Saudi Arabia and India in eliminating terrorism.
