Problem Statement

Altitudes ADAD and BEBE of an acute triangle ABCABC intersect at HH. Let PEP \ne E be the point of tangency of the circle with radius HEHE centred at HH with its tangent line going through point CC, and let QEQ \ne E be the point of tangency of the circle with radius BEBE centred at BB with its tangent line going through CC. Prove that the points D,PD, P and QQ are collinear.
