Investigation into Saif Ali Khan’s Attacker Reveals Shocking Details
Recent findings have shed light on the individual responsible for attacking Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan. It has been discovered that the assailant was employed by a housekeeping firm and had previously visited the actor’s residence.
Previous Visits to Saif’s Residence
According to reports, the accused, Mohammad Shariful Islam Shahzad, worked for a housekeeping company that occasionally provided cleaning services to Saif’s household. On one such occasion, Shahzad had visited the actor’s home, allegedly to perform cleaning duties.
Entering the Actor’s Home
On the night of the attack, Shahzad took advantage of the building’s security guard being asleep and gained access to the 11th floor. He then entered the duct shaft and made his way into Saif’s apartment through the ductwork. Once inside, Shahzad hid in the bathroom, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Apprehending the Accused
Following the attack, Shahzad fled the scene and took a train to Thane. He was later picked up by a bike rider, whose vehicle registration number helped police track him down. Shahzad was eventually apprehended in the bushes near a labor camp in Thane.
Investigation Reveals Suspicions of Illegal Residency
Although initial reports suggested that Shahzad was a resident of West Bengal, further investigation has led police to believe that he may be a citizen of Bangladesh. As no valid Indian identification documents were found on him, Shahzad has been charged under relevant sections of the Passport Act. The police continue to interrogate him to uncover more information.
Claims of Ignorance and Intent to Steal
During questioning, Shahzad alleged that he did not know he was entering Saif’s home and that his intentions were solely to commit theft. However, when confronted by Saif, he attacked the actor with a knife, resulting in injuries.
Potential Identity Fraud
The accused had provided multiple aliases to the police, making it difficult to determine his true identity. Following a thorough investigation, the Mumbai Police have confirmed that the accused’s real name is indeed Mohammad Shariful Islam Shahzad.
