Bangladeshi national Shariful Fakir, accused of assaulting actor Saif Ali Khan, has his police custody extended until January 29. Forensic evidence links Fakir to the crime despite his father's dispute over identification.

Afsar Zaidi, a family friend of Saif Ali Khan, denied taking him to the hospital after the stabbing. He arrived later at Lilavati Hospital, contacted by the Pataudi family.

Less than a week after being stabbed by an intruder at his home in Mumbai, actor Saif Ali Khan was seen on Tuesday smiling and waving at the cameras after being discharged from Lilavati Hospital. The video has led to some politicians raising questions about the knife attack on him.

Mohammad Ruhul Amin Fakir maintained that his son has been falsely arrested as he was an easy target as he had entered India illegally.

Fingerprints and forensic evidence have linked Shariful Fakir to the break-in and stabbing at Saif Ali Khan's residence, despite his father disputing

The father of Shariful Islam Shehzad, the suspected attacker of Saif Ali Khan, denied previous reports that he was a wrestler, claiming he was a bike rider in Bangladesh.

A major development happened in the Saif Ali Khan attack case as the Police got an important piece of evidence about the accused Shariful Islam.

Shariful, originally from Bangladesh, moved to India seeking better job opportunities due to the political unrest in his home country. His father explained that the primary reason for his move was to escape instability and secure a better livelihood.

Md Ruhul Amin Fakir, father of Mohammed Shariful Islam, the man accused in the recent attack on Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan, spoke exclusively with IANS on Thursday.

Shariful Fakir's father claims his son was wrongfully arrested for allegedly stabbing actor Saif Ali Khan during a burglary in Mumbai. He argues Shariful doesn't match the CCTV footage and believes his illegal entry into India makes him an easy target.
