Mumbai: Upset over reports attributed to
security agencies that they have not cleared his son of any
wrongdoing in connection with his dealings with terror suspect
David Headley, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt on Saturday said he is hurt
and that his son does not require a clean chit from anyone.
"I have read news reports attributed to security agencies
wherein they have said that Rahul has not been given a clean
chit for his Headley connection. I am deeply hurt. He is a
true and responsible Indian who himself volunteered to share
the information with the agencies. Rahul`s heart is clear and
he doesn`t require any clean chit from anyone," Bhatt told
agency.
He also accused the security agencies of not keeping
their word and leaking selective information to the media.
"We were asked to maintain silence, but see now what is
happening. I kept my word (by remaining silent) and look what
the security agencies are doing?" Bhatt said, adding that the
investigating agencies were clueless about the identity of
Rahul, who figured in Headley`s e-mails to his LeT handler,
until his son volunteered the information.
"It was my son who approached Rakesh Maria (Joint Police
Commissioner, Mumbai) and shared details after which the
investigations have gone on the right track. The agencies
should acknowledge this truth," he said.
