The brutal attack on Bollywood superstar Saif Ali Khan has sent shockwaves across the nation, leaving fans deeply concerned. Since the horrifying incident on January 16, 2025, netizens have been eagerly following every update on the case. Now, in a major development, the facial recognition test report of the primary accused, Shariful Islam, has been released, revealing shocking details.
Facial Recognition Test Confirms Accused’s Role
Mumbai Police recently conducted a facial recognition test to establish Shariful Islam’s involvement in the case. According to a News18 report, the test results were positive, further strengthening the case against him. Authorities believe this evidence will be crucial in proving that Shariful was the intruder who allegedly broke into Saif Ali Khan’s residence and stabbed him.
Mumbai Police Seek Custody Extension, Court Rejects
Despite the new evidence, Mumbai Police’s attempt to extend Shariful Islam’s police custody has hit a roadblock. The cops had approached the Bandra Magistrate Court to keep him in custody for further interrogation, particularly to determine who helped him enter India illegally.
However, the court ruled against an extension, stating that the police failed to provide new evidence to justify their request. As a result, Shariful Islam remains in judicial custody, and the police are now deploying a special investigative team to Kolkata to verify his statements.
Shariful’s Father Claims His Son is Being Framed
While the police continue their probe, Shariful Islam’s father, Mohammad Rohilla Amin Fakir, has come forward with serious allegations. He has vowed to protest against his son’s arrest at the Indian High Commission, claiming that the police are falsely implicating him.
In a statement to the media, he asserted:
“The person in the CCTV footage is not my son. My son never keeps long hair. I strongly believe he is being framed in this case.”
Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Tighten Security
Following the shocking breach of security, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan have taken strict measures to ensure their family’s safety. Reports suggest that security grills are being installed around their Bandra residence, Satguru Sharan, while they have also hired Ronit Roy’s security agency to enhance their protection.
In addition to these precautions, a special meeting was held between the couple’s team and Mumbai paparazzi on January 28, 2025. The team has urged photographers not to randomly click pictures of their children, Taimur and Jeh, and requested them to avoid crowding near their residence.
What’s Next in the Investigation?
With the facial recognition test confirming Shariful Islam’s role, the focus now shifts to gathering further concrete evidence and identifying his possible accomplices. Meanwhile, with his father set to protest against his arrest, the case is expected to take new twists and turns in the coming days.
