The accused in the attack on actor Saif Ali Khan, Shariful Islam Shehzad Mohammad Rohilla Ameen Fakir, also known as Vijay Gopal Das, has filed a bail petition in the Mumbai Sessions Court, claiming his innocence. The petition, submitted through his lawyer, Ajay Gawli, argues that Shariful Islam has committed no crime and that the First Information Report (FIR) is false.
According to the petition, Shariful Islam contends that he was not involved in any criminal activity related to the incident. The petition further claims that the FIR filed against him is fabricated and that he has been wrongfully implicated. The bail application seeks to challenge the charges levied against him and requests the court to release him on bail.
This development comes after the actor Saif Ali Khan, along with his family, was attacked by the accused, who allegedly harassed them in a public place. Following the incident, the police arrested the accused, and an investigation was launched. However, Shariful Islam’s legal team insists that there is no credible evidence linking him to the crime, and he should be granted bail.
The case has garnered significant attention, not only because of the involvement of a high-profile Bollywood actor but also due to the serious nature of the charges. The court is expected to hear arguments from both sides before making a ruling on the bail petition.
