Saif Ali Khan Stabbing Case Raises Questions Over Investigation and Evidence

Mumbai Police assert strong evidence against the suspect, but inconsistencies in the timeline, weapon details, and fingerprint reports fuel public skepticism.

Actor Saif Ali Khan was stabbed six times during a suspected burglary at his Bandra residence on January 16 and was hospitalized for surgery before being discharged after five days.
Mumbai Police arrested Shariful Islam, an alleged Bangladeshi national, on January 19, citing technical, physical, and oral evidence, but fingerprint reports are still pending.
Confusion persists over the timeline, with police stating Khan arrived at Lilavati Hospital at 2:47 a.m., while the medico-legal report records his admission at 4:11 a.m.
Discrepancies in the weapon used—described as both a knife and a hacksaw blade—and the nature of Khan's injuries have not been clarified by authorities.
Khan's family and the hospital remain silent on key details, including who accompanied him to the hospital, further complicating the investigation.
