A village in Worli Koliwada, where Saif Ali Khan’s attacker, Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, 30, took shelter, is being labelled “Mini Bangladesh” by locals. Residents have expressed serious concerns about the increasing Bangladeshi population in the area and have even carried out a rally on January 19 to protest against them.

As per the police, Fakir had been living in a 10x10 rented room in Worli without a valid agreement since August 2024. His case isn’t unique, as locals allege that many Bangladeshis reside in the area without proper documentation or leave-and-licence agreements. Sources also claimed that he had been staying in Thane and would frequently switch between houses in Worli and Thane as he was later working in Thane.
