Saif Ali Khan's alleged attacker seeks bail; calls FIR a ‘fictional story'; court to hear plea on July 21
Mohammed Shariful Islam, the 30-year-old accused in the brutal knife attack on actor
Saif Ali Khan
earlier this year, has now filed a bail application, calling the FIR against him a 'fictitious story.'
As reported by IANS, Mohammed Shariful Islam is currently lodged in Mumbai's Arthur Road jail and is seeking release on the grounds that there is no concrete evidence tying him to the crime.
Reportedly, in the bail petition, submitted through advocate Vipul Dushing, Islam has maintained his innocence. He also claimed that the allegations are entirely baseless. Mohammed Shariful Islam asserted that he has no previous criminal record and has cooperated with the investigation so far.
'The present FIR is nothing but a fictional story of the complainant,' his statement reads.
Probe nearing completion, says petition
According to the petition, most of the investigation has been completed and only the charge sheet remains to be filed. It points out that key evidence — including CCTV footage and call data records — has already been collected by the prosecution. Islam's legal team argued that since all relevant evidence is secured, there is no risk of tampering or influencing witnesses if he is granted bail.

Dogs in, humans out: 'Dog Babu' gets Patna residence certificate; Yogendra Yadav says 'this is acceptable in Bihar's SIR but not Aadhaar card'
Danny generated AI Image Swaraj India member Yogendra Yadav took a dig at the Bihar government for issuing a residence certificate to a dog in Patna and said that this is the same certificate that is being considered for SIR, "while Aadhaar and ration cards are being called fake. " A bizarre incident from Bihar caught everyone's attention, including Yogendra Yadav. A dog from Bihar's Patna district received the residence certificate. The residence certificate, issued from the Bihar RTPS's portal of Masaurhi Zone Office, carries the digital signature of Murari Chauhan, revenue officer of Masaurhi Zone Office. The authenticity of the certificate has put the entire system under the scanner, raising questions on how the tampering occurred. The certificate (number BRCCO/2025/15933581) has a picture of a dog and his name is 'Dog Babu'. The address is mentioned as Mohalla Kaulichak, Ward No 15, Nagar Parishad Masaurhi. Looking at the weird certificate, Yadav said in a post on X, "See it with your own eyes! On July 24 in Bihar, a dog got a residence certificate issued. This is the same certificate that is being accepted in Bihar under SIR, while Aadhaar and ration cards are being called the photo and name yourself: 'Dog Babu', father's name 'Kutta Babu', mother's name 'Kutiya Babu', and address – Kaulichak Mohalla, Ward Number 15, Masaurhi Municipal Council. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Libas Purple Days Sale Libas Undo The certificate number is BRCCO/2025/15933581." The District Administration of Patna assured that an FIR has been registered at the local police station against the applicant, the computer operator, and the officer who issued the certificate. Replying to Yadav, the administration said, "The Sub-Divisional Officer, Masaurhi, has been directed to conduct a detailed investigation of the entire matter and submit a report within 24 hours. Departmental and disciplinary action will be taken against the guilty employees and officers." BJP also replied and said that the purpose of the SIR is to identify such infiltrators and those who have obtained fake certificates (including elements like these), who have illegally acquired citizenship-related benefits. "Those who are getting flustered seeing themselves exposed are the ones now trying to give a communal color to this constitutionally compliant process. Foreign agencies and their informants in India are also active in this," BJP IT chief Amit Malviya said while replying t Yadav's post. This post triggered online debate where one user said, "Any person who deliberately applies with a fake name or photo should be fined Rs 5,000 or more as a penalty. Fraud on digital portals must be stopped, and this joke should be taken seriously — no application should be accepted without a mobile number." Another said: "This is not the misfortune of the Election Commission but of Bihar, and it shows how low the standard of employees in Bihar is."
