Suleman claims that he did not know anything about the veteran until he was identified as the doctor overseeing his care in 2004.
The cardiologist claims that the reports dealing with the veteran's death are contradictory and not credible, reports the news source.
Suleman's lawsuit says that the veteran medical malpractice report was filed against him because of an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint he filed, which was settled in July 2006.
