The extension of custody was sought by the police citing the possibility of additional accomplices and the accused’s failure to cooperate in the location of the weapon.

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan left a hospital in India’s financial capital Mumbai on Tuesday, less than a week after he suffered knife injuries in a scuffle with an intruder at his house, local media reported.

In the latest development in the Saif Ali Khan attack case, the police custody of the accused, Shariful Islam, has been extended till January 29. More details below.

Fakir, 30, a Bangladeshi national who had entered India illegally and adopted the alias Vijay Das, was arrested last week in Thane.

Shariful Fakir's father claims his son was wrongfully arrested for allegedly stabbing actor Saif Ali Khan during a burglary in Mumbai. He argues Shariful doesn't match the CCTV footage and believes his illegal entry into India makes him an easy target.

Mumbai Police has obtained two identity documents confirming the nationality of the actor Saif Ali Khan's alleged assailant, Sariful Islam, media reports said.

Saif Ali Khan, who was hospitalised after getting stabbed by an intruder, is back home. He returned home with a bandage around his wrist and neck. Now, a statement made by a Maharashtra Minister about attack on Saif has shocked all.

Saif Ali Khan was attacked in his 12th-floor apartment in the upscale Bandra area during an attempted robbery.
