The Saif Ali Khan knife attack case remains under investigation with forensic evidence showing that the fingerprints of Shariful Fakir, the 30-year-old suspect arrested for the burglary, corroborated the same at different areas in the house of the actor Bandra. The shocking incident occurred on January 16, leaving Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan injured while protecting his family.
The trending Saif Ali Khan stabbing case represents the horrifying saga. Nawab’s family’s beloved son, released from Lilavati Hospital on January 21, has recounted the ordeal to the police of Bandra. Based on his account, the perpetrator attacked him repeatedly with a knife during a brutal struggle in his 11th-floor flat at Satguru Sharan. Saif revealed that the armed suspect targeted his family, staff, and his younger son Jehangir’s room before he intervened to protect them.
The actor shared:
“My grip loosened after the stranger stabbed me repeatedly on my back with a knife after I overpowered him,”
Saif Ali Khan knife attack case: How did the attacker enter Saif’s residence?
Police reports indicate that Shariful Fakir entered the residence by scaling a 4-foot wall, using a ladder to access the duct, cutting through a rat mesh to reach the fourth floor, and climbing to the 11th floor. Fingerprint comparisons with the alleged perpetrator matched those found on a duct pipe, the bedroom door handle of Jehangir, and the bathroom door.
The accused absconded from the scene and dropped a white bag with various tools and a dislocated knife at Bandra Talao. During the crime scene reconstruction, Fakir demonstrated his route and methods of entry and escape.
This horrifying experience started with a trigger when nurse Eliyamma Phillip, responsible for attending to Jehangir, saw the perpetrator and yelled at Saif and Kareena Kapoor Khan. Saif rushed to confront the attacker but sustained injuries when the intruder stabbed him to escape. Post-attack, Saif was taken to the hospital by his sons Taimur and Ibrahim in an auto. As per TOI:
“Saif said he and Kareena came out of the bedroom on hearing Phillip’s scream and Jehangir crying. He saw a stranger attacking Phillip. So he charged at him and grabbed him. The stranger stabbed him to escape,”
The police are now ongoing their investigation and they are piecing together the crime scene details and collecting evidence to prepare their case. The actor has expressed gratitude for his family’s safety but remains deeply shaken by the events.
