Bangladeshi national Mohammad Shariful Islam, accused of stabbing actor Saif Ali Khan at the star's residence in Bandra, has approached a court seeking to plead guilty in the case. The 54-year-old Khan required emergency surgery after being repeatedly stabbed with a knife in January 2025, but has since recovered.
Islam, currently in judicial custody, filed an application to the court expressing his willingness to plead guilty and requested leniency. His lawyer, Vipul Dushing, informed the media about his client's statement. The court adjourned the hearing to September 11, giving the prosecution until then to file their response.
Islam was charged under various provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for robbery with a deadly weapon, causing grievous hurt, and house trespass. He was also accused of violating the Foreigners Act and Passport (Entry into India) Rules. The incident occurred on January 16, 2025, when an intruder attacked Khan inside his 12th-floor apartment in upscale Bandra.
