Saif Ali Khan Attack: Arrested accused’s advocate makes SHOCKING claim; ‘Police have no proof…’
The arrested accused was presented in Bandra court and granted five days of police custody. Now, his lawyer has called out the police and made some shocking claims.
On Sunday, January 19, 2025, the Mumbai Police apprehended the main accused in the Saif Ali Khan case. Nabbed in Thane, identified as Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, was initially believed to be a Bangladeshi national. After his arrest, he was presented, and the court granted police five-day custody of the accused. And now, his lawyer has claimed that "Police have no proof that he is from Bangladesh."
In the Saif Ali Khan attack case, the accused Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad’s advocate, Sandeep Shekhane, stated that the court has granted a 5-day police custody and instructed the police to submit a report within this period.
Shekhane argued that the claim of the accused being a Bangladeshi lacks evidence and dismissed the statement that he arrived in Mumbai six months ago. Instead, he asserted that Shehzad has lived in Mumbai for over seven years with his family. He also alleged a violation of Section 43A, citing a lack of proper investigation.

The lawyer of the accused stated that Saif Ali Khan has never made any statements or had any grievances with anyone that would have led to a threat against him, whether from Bangladesh or any other country.
He further explained that there are no international cases involving Saif. Shekhane claimed that the focus of the case had shifted due to the accused's nationality, as he is indeed Bangladeshi but has been living in India with his family for a long time.

Another accused's lawyer, Dinesh Prajapati, stated that the police had requested custody, but the reasons provided for the request were insufficient.
He emphasized that the defence had argued that nothing had been recovered from the accused, Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad. Prajapati further pointed out that the police had not presented any documents to verify the accused's nationality.
Saif Ali Khan is currently out of danger and is recovering. Earlier in the day, Kareena Kapoor Khan along with kids Taimur Ali Khan and Jeh Ali Khan, arrived at Lilavati Hospital to meet her husband.
