Hyderabad: Cleric Abdul Aleem Islahi has denied charges by Hyderabad Police that his son Motasim Billah motivated and was helping two SIMI activists from Maharashtra to go to Afghanistan for Jihad training.

Islahi told reporters Friday that after failing in its previous attempts police is again trying to implicate his son in false cases. Claiming that Billah has no links with SIMI, he pointed out that the court had acquitted him in all the cases booked by police in the past.
