Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India]: In a major development in the Saif Ali Khan attack case, Mumbai Police have recorded statements from two individuals in West Bengal, including a woman whose Aadhaar card was misused by the accused to purchase a SIM card.
A team from Mumbai traveled to West Bengal to investigate the connection. They first recorded the statement of the woman whose Aadhaar card was utilized and later spoke with a relative of the accused who allegedly facilitated access to the Aadhaar card.
According to the police, the accused obtained the Aadhaar card via the relative and used it to acquire a SIM card, which played a key role in the investigation.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis addressed the case, emphasizing the thoroughness of the police investigation. “The police are conducting a proper investigation and have nearly all the required details. The case will be taken to its logical conclusion,” Fadnavis assured.
As part of the probe, Mumbai Police have collected Saif Ali Khan’s blood samples and clothing for forensic analysis.
The attack occurred earlier this month when an intruder, identified as Mohd Shariful Islam Shehzad, entered Saif Ali Khan’s residence with the intention of committing theft. A confrontation ensued, during which Saif Ali Khan sustained stab wounds to his thoracic spine and other areas. The actor was rushed to Lilavati Hospital for immediate medical attention.
This incident has raised concerns about security and identity misuse, with the investigation uncovering links extending beyond Maharashtra. The Mumbai Police are working diligently to resolve the case.
