Saif Ali Khan’s stabbing case: The attacker revisited the actor’s Bandra home, but this time for recreating the crime scene

Mumbai Police, probing the case, alleged that the accused is a Bangladeshi national who illegally stayed in India, changing his name to Vijay Das.

The Saif Ali Khan stabbing case has been on top of the news since last week when the shocking incident took place. While Saif is recovering well, as per reports, at Bandra’s Lilavati Hospital, his attacker was taken to Saif’s Bandra residence to recreate the crime scene by the Mumbai Police.

The intruder was taken to Saif Ali Khan’s home to recreate the crime scene.

The Mumbai Police investigating the Saif Ali Khan stabbing case took the accused, Shariful Islam Shehzad Mohammad Rohilla Amin Fakir, to the actor’s Bandra residence on Tuesday morning to recreate the crime scene. He was taken to the Bandra railway station to do the same, as reported by news agency PTI. The actor was reportedly stabbed by the intruder inside his apartment in the Satguru Sharan building in upscale Bandra on Thursday, necessitating surgery. Doctors treating the actor performed a 5-hour surgery and said that he is “recovering well.”

Probe by Mumbai police so far.

Mumbai Police probing the case have alleged that the accused is a Bangladeshi national who stayed illegally in India after changing his name to Vijay Das. He is believed to have lived in Mumbai for more than five months, sustaining himself by working odd jobs and being associated with a housekeeping agency. The official said, “He called his brother and asked him to send his school living certificate. His brother sent it (the certificate) on Fakir’s mobile phone. This document is strong evidence to prove he is a Bangladeshi national.”

On Monday, the police visited Saif’s home and collected several fingerprints as part of their probe. An official told PTI that fingerprints were found at several places, such as the bathroom window from where the accused is believed to have entered and exited, the duct shaft, and the ladder he allegedly used to enter from the duct. Police said that the accused hid in Saif’s garden for two hours after stabbing the actor inside his home during an attempted burglary. An officer said, citing the preliminary investigation, “He was afraid of getting caught.”
