Saif Ali Khan’s attacker, Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, was arrested on Sunday in Thane. Now, according to the latest reports, it is being stated that the Mumbai police are likely to recreate the scene at the Bandra home of the actor, who was repeatedly stabbed by the intruder.
According to a report published in Hindustan Times, the Mumbai police’s official informed that they would take Shariful to Saif Ali Khan’s home, where the incident actually happened. He will be taken to the building in these five days to recreate the crime scene as part of their investigation.
The police statement further mentioned that various investigation teams were formed to investigate the crime. A case has been registered under IPC sections including 311, 312, 331(4), 331(6), and 331(7) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS). According to the police, the accused was about to flee to his native village when he was detained at Hiranandani Estate in Thane. It was revealed that the accused is a native of the Jhalokati district in Bangladesh.
On Sunday, Mumbai Police arrested Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad from Thane after days of massive manhunt and investigation. Following the arrest, an official press conference was conducted by DCP Zone 9, Dixit Gedam, who revealed that the arrested accused is a Bangladeshi national on prima facie.
They also revealed that the attacker used multiple identities, including Bijoy Das, Vijay Das, Mohammad Illyas, and BJ.
