ABC radio report quoting sources in the UK and Australia said Haneef's SIM card was seized by the British police from terror suspect Sabeel Ahmed much later.
MELBOURNE: More doubts have been raised over the Australian police case against Indian doctor Mohamed Haneef, who is in a Brisbane prison for his alleged involvement in the recent failed UK bombings.
An Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) radio report quoting sources in the UK and Australia said Haneef's SIM card was seized by the British police from terror suspect Sabeel Ahmed much later than the actual bombing.
The Australian Federal Police had told a Brisbane court on last Saturday that Haneef's SIM card was found in the Jeep that was rammed into Glasgow airport.
The ABC has also claimed that the Haneef's cousin Sabeel Ahmed was arrested with two mobile phones one of which had the Indian doctor's SIM card in it.
The SIM card has been used as the main evidence to file a case on Mohamed Haneef recklessly supporting a terrorist group.
The Indian doctor's Australian solicitor Peter Russo says the inconsistencies will be raised in court.
''The only way that we're ever going to be able to prove whether that's true or not will be in an open hearing.''
''The first opportunity we may get to do that will be on the August 8. All I can do is just keep working hard and the truth will be found somewhere in the unfolding of the different court hearings that we have,'' he told reporters.
The news has come as support for the Indian doctor who continues to swell. There have been reports of protests and business groups warning Australia over Haneef incarceration souring lucrative trade relations with India.
Meanwhile, Bangalore media has also expressed his anxiety to finally see a picture of his new-born daughter after spending first day at Wolston Correctional Centre, at Richlands in Brisbane's south-west.
According to Haneef's solicitor, his client had broken down in Brisbane prison after hearing the Australian public support and rallies held in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney Thursday asking for his release.
''He was moved to tears when I told him about the support because I think, for him, he hasn't understood the impact that it had on the rest of the community and I don't think he regards himself as being such an important person,'' Russo told.
The news of Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee's telephone chat with his Australian counterpart Alexander Downer yesterday has also been published in the Australian newspapers with prominence.
Former Australian Prime Minister Malcom Fraser has also joined the chorus demanding the Indian doctor's immediate release.
