Mumbai, Dec 05: Bollywood music composer Nadeem
Akhtar Saifee today urged the Centre and Maharashtra
government to drop the charges framed against him in the
Gulshan Kumar murder case as the trial court in Mumbai has
rejected the conspiracy angle and acquitted most of the
accused.
"I want to come back to India but with honour and
dignity. India is my vatan (motherland) and for seven years I
have been away", Nadeem told reporters on telephone from London.
Nadeem, charged with participating in a conspiracy to kill audio king Gulshan Kumar, said a UK court had dismissed the extradition proceedings initiated by the Indian government and the trial court had also rejected the conspiracy charge in the case. He was, therefore, urging the government to drop the charges against him, Nadeem said.
The Maharashtra government has moved the Mumbai High Court challenging the trial court's order.
The music composer said his case was investigated by the then Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) R S Sharma who has been arrested under a stringent law for alleged lapses in the fake stamp paper scam probe.
Even in his case, Nadeem alleged, Sharma was responsible for the "lop-sided" probe.
