The article also talks of an impending split between Nadeem and you, which has got some people speculating that you might have been party to the write-up.
“What a stupid thing to speculate. I cant think of parting ways with my brother even in my wildest dreams. We have stood the test of time and have stuck together in all times, good and bad. Even when Nadeem was held up in London, I believed in his innocence and stood by him. Also, please note that the magazine alleges Nadeem fled India, which is a big lie. He was on regular summer vacation in London when with his family since the 17th of July, 1997. Also, the allegation that he has won his case on a technical point is false. He got a thundering victory in the courts. In fact, Honourable Justice M.L.Tahiliani has, in his final court order, also mentioned that there was no conspiracy in the case at all. I’m sure that says all. I have stood by Nadeem in the past, will stand by him now and in future. Nadeem-Shravan will always remain one. And whosoever tries to write such malicious stories can go take a walk. The writer must have got some kind of sadistic pleasure writing such crap. Or there may be some hidden vested interests in spoiling our reputation.”
