Mumbai:
Shariful Islam, the Bangladeshi man accused of stabbing actor Saif Ali Khan during a failed burglary attempt at his Bandra home last week, will remain in police custody till January 29. A local court in Mumbai extended his custody for five days after the cops argued they are yet to recover crucial evidence regarding the attack that had raised serious questions over security in such an upscale locality.
Islam was arrested three days later from the Hiranandani Estate in neighbouring Thane district.
In his statement to the cops last night, Mr Khan said he and his actor-wife Kareena Kapoor Khan were in the bedroom when they heard a house help screaming. When he came out, he saw the intruder in his son Jeh’s room.
Cops believe the accused had entered Satguru Sharan, the 12-story building in which Mr Khan has a flat, by scaling the wall of adjacent compound and taken the stairs and fire exit to reach the floor where the actor lives with his family.
