Saif Ali Khan was stabbed six times by the robber, following which he was rushed to the hospital. The actor was discharged on January 21. In a big development in the Saif Ali Khan stabbing case, Bandra Police in Mumbai has now filed a chargesheet in the Metropolitan Magistrate Court.

The chargesheet, which is reportedly 1000 pages long, contains several pieces of evidence against the accused, Shariful Islam. As reported by the Free Press Journal, the chargesheet also includes facial recognition test results, fingerprint reports, an identification parade report, and findings of the forensic lab. This comes days after the Mumbai police also opposed the bail plea of the accused in the case.



Police officials told a Mumbai court that the knife fragment that got lodged near the spine of the actor and the one found at the scene of the crime matched with the weapon recovered from the accused, Mohammad Shariful Islam. Besides this, the police also opposed the bail plea by stating that the accused is a Bangladeshi citizen who was living in India illegally. Cops claimed that there is a possibility of the accused absconding and therefore, he must not be granted bail.

Police also said the offence was very “serious in nature" and “strong evidence" is available against the accused. Saif Ali Khan was stabbed by an intruder at his Mumbai residence in the wee hours of January 16. It was reported that at around 2 AM, the actor heard noises when one of his female employees was attacked in Jeh’s room.

This prompted Saif to intervene, which led to an altercation between the two and the attacker injured both Saif and the female employee. Islam has been accused of breaking into Saif Ali Khan’s Mumbai residence with the intent of robbing. He has also been accused of attacking the actor and his staff member using a wooden weapon and a blade.
