In a new development in the Saif Ali Khan stabbing incident, the Mumbai Police have reportedly opposed the bail application of Bangladeshi national identified as Mohammad Shariful Islam. The accused allegedly stabbed Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan at his Mumbai residence during wee hours on January 16, 2025. The police noted that they have solid evidence against the accused and hence requested the court not to grant him bail.

The police informed the court that the knife used during the attack and the pieces recovered from the accused match. The police also referred to the forensic science laboratory report, reiterating their claim that the piece of knife found from the actor's spine during the attack and a piece of knife found at the crime scene match the weapon that they recovered from the accused.

The police submitted a written response to the accused's petition to obtain bail, wherein they stated that these three pieces belonged to the same knife that was used to attack Saif. The police informed the court that the accused, being a Bangladeshi national residing illegally in India, is likely to flee the country and not appear in court during the trial if granted bail.
