Court order on Tuesday on plea by accused in Saif Ali Khan attack case
Mumbai, May 12 (UNI) A local court at Bandra is set to pass an order on Tuesday on a plea moved by the Bangladeshi national accused of breaking into actor Saif Ali Khan's home and stabbing him. The accused has sought immediate release from jail, claiming that the police did not give him in writing the grounds for his arrest, which is mandatory, before apprehending him. In a plea filed before the metropolitan magistrate court in Bandra last week, Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, 30, stated that his arrest was illegal and was in violation of section 47 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). The section mandates that a police officer arresting any person without a warrant should communicate full particulars of the offence for which an accused is being arrested or reveal other grounds for an arrest. The accused has cited various Supreme Court and high court orders holding that the law mandates furnishing the reasons and grounds of arrest to the accused before apprehending him, and that not complying with this mandatory requirement renders the arrest illegal. In one of the judgments mentioned in the plea, the Supreme Court held that police officers must furnish the grounds of arrest to the accused persons in writing. This should be done to avoid situations arising out of conflicting claims and to enable the accused to get an opportunity to defend himself during the remand hearing, the top court said. It also held that subsequent remand orders and the filing of the chargesheet in the case would not cure the defect. Earlier the accused had withdrawn the bail plea moved in the sessions court. Later he approached the Bandra magistrate court with this application claiming that his arrest was illegal. Two months back, the police filed a chargesheet running into more than 1,000-pages which includes crucial forensic evidence that allegedly links the suspect to the attack. Khan was repeatedly stabbed with a knife by the intruder inside his 12th floor apartment in upscale Bandra on January 16 this year. The 54-year-old actor underwent an emergency surgery at the Lilavati Hospital. He was discharged after five days. The accused was arrested by the police two days after the incident. UNI AAA PRS

275 Bangladeshis detained in six days
MUMBAI: The Mumbai police has detained 275 Bangladeshi nationals in Mumbai in the last six days, taking the tally of illegal Bangladeshis detained since January to around 650. Police said 350 cases have been registered. Police also said around 200 Bangladeshis have been deported, in light of a recent notification from the Union ministry of home affairs to identify and deport Bangladeshis staying in the country illegally. 'The notification specifically mentions women and men who work at construction sites, prostitution centres, as house help and in catering services,' said a police officer. Most of the Bangladeshis arrested are economically disadvantaged and work as labourers, he said, adding that after crossing the border illegally, they make fake documents and pose as Indian citizens while living in the country. In 2024, India's Foreigners Regional Registration Officers (FRRO) had deported 2,331 foreigners, of which 411 were Bangladeshi nationals. Nigerian deportees topped with a tally of 1,470. The issue of Bangladeshis living in Mumbai illegally came to the fore with the arrest of Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad for breaking into the home of actor Saif Ali Khan and attacking him in January.
