Saif Ali Khan Stabbing Case: Accused Seeks Bail, Claims Evidence Fabricated

Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, accused of stabbing the Bollywood actor during a burglary, alleges procedural violations and maintains his innocence as legal proceedings advance.

Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, accused of stabbing Saif Ali Khan in January 2025, has filed a bail plea claiming the charges against him are fabricated.
The accused alleges that his arrest violated procedural norms under Indian law, including improper registration of the FIR and lack of transparency during detention.
Mumbai Police assert they have strong evidence against Shehzad, including CCTV footage, facial recognition, and other technical and physical evidence.
The case remains under judicial review in the Bandra Magistrate Court, with the chargesheet yet to be filed before its transfer to the Sessions Court.
Broader public scrutiny has emerged around procedural inconsistencies and immigration security, as Shehzad is confirmed to have entered India illegally from Bangladesh.
