BANGALORE: "I am happy to be here. I am relieved and eager to see my daughter", Indian doctor Mohd Haneef said soon after his return home on Sunday from Australia after being cleared of terror charges.

Haneef's brief comments came soon after he came out of the Thai Airways flight from Bangkok as he returned here after a 25-day ordeal in Brisbane.

Soon after his arrival, Haneef was taken by his father-in-law Ashwaq to his house where his wife Firdous Arshiya is staying with their one-month old baby Haniya whom he had seen only in photos.
