Saif Ali Khan stabbing case: Over 1,000-page chargesheet filed against Bangladeshi accused Shariful
Mumbai: In connection with the stabbing of actor Saif Ali Khan, the Bandra police have filed a detailed chargesheet running over 1,000 pages against accused Shariful Islam, a 30-year-old Bangladeshi national. The chargesheet was submitted to the Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Bandra, on April 8.
It includes key evidence such as facial recognition results, fingerprint analysis, an identification parade report, and forensic lab findings. Pieces of a knife recovered from the scene were also confirmed to match.
The incident occurred on January 16, around 2:00 AM, when an unidentified intruder allegedly entered Saif Ali Khan's residence on the 11th and 12th floors of Satguru Sharan in Bandra West. The intruder reportedly entered the bathroom attached to the room of Saif's four-year-old son, Jahangir (Jeh), with an intent to steal.
Jeh’s nanny was attacked, prompting Saif to intervene. In the struggle, the accused allegedly stabbed the actor six times in the neck before fleeing the premises. Saif was admitted to Lilavati Hospital for treatment.
Shariful Islam was arrested on January 19. Investigations revealed that he had no knowledge of the house belonging to a celebrity and that his motive was theft.
