Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan firmly refutes claims of involvement in the release of eight Indian Navy veterans from Qatar, attributing the success solely to the Indian government. Denying assertions by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy, Khan's office states that diplomatic matters are best handled by government officials. The veterans, jailed for 18 months on alleged spying charges, returned to India on Monday. PM Modi's personal intervention is lauded by one of the released veterans. The Ministry of External Affairs appreciates Qatar's decision enabling the release. Khan, like many Indians, expresses happiness over the safe return of the naval officers.
