The accused stated that he was unaware he had entered the residence of Saif Ali Khan.

A suspect has been apprehended in connection with the stabbing of Saif, asserting that he was unaware he had assaulted the actor. Authorities report that he is a Bangladeshi citizen employed in Mumbai’s nightlife, having adopted the alias ‘Bijoy Das’.

The individual charged, known as Shariful Islam Shehzad Mohammed Rohilla Amin Fakir, was apprehended in the neighboring city of Thane on Sunday. He remains in judicial custody until the 24th.

The 30-year-old suspect, who is currently unemployed and previously worked as housekeeping staff in various pubs and restaurants in Mumbai and Thane, was apprehended early Sunday morning while he was sleeping in the mangroves near Kasarvadavali in Thane.

He was taken into custody during a coordinated operation involving both the Mumbai and Thane police, who deployed a team of 100 officers to capture him.

Law enforcement depended on UPI payment for an omelette, a call to a friend, a call from his previous employer, and a substantial amount of CCTV footage to track down and apprehend the intruder.

“We have arrested Shariful Islam Shehzad Mohammed Rohilla Amin Fakir, 30, alias Bijoy Das, who hails from Jhalakathi district in Bangladesh,” says the police.

He informed the police that he discovered the neighborhood where Saif resided was home to numerous affluent individuals, and he had surveyed the area multiple times prior to executing the home invasion, with the intention of stealing.

Shariful stated that he was unaware he had entered the residence of the Bollywood star and only realized he had assaulted Saif afterward.

Authorities reported that he had gained entry into the residence of the Bollywood celebrity, located in the Satguru Sharan building in the affluent area of Bandra, during the early hours of January 16, with the intent to commit theft.

“Our probe has found that he took the stairs till the seventh-eighth floor, then entered the duct area, climbed to the 12th floor using a pipe, and broke into the actor’s flat through a bathroom window. He then came out from the bathroom, where he was seen by the actor’s staff, which led to the chain of events that resulted in the attack,” says the police.

The officer stated that the police will pursue custody of the suspect for additional investigation.
