Drama Unfolds in Bollywood: Saif Ali Khan Stabbing Case Takes a New Turn

In a dramatic twist, Mohammad Shariful Islam, accused of stabbing Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan, has filed a bail application asserting his innocence. He claims that the FIR against him is merely a 'fabricated narrative,' aiming to debunk the charges in a court of law.

The 54-year-old actor faced a grave knife attack inside his Bandra apartment earlier this year. After undergoing an emergency procedure in a local hospital, Saif was discharged after a five-day recovery period. The police swiftly apprehended Islam, now 30, two days post-incident.

Islam's legal defense, led by advocate Vipul Dushing, argues that the core investigation is complete. According to the defense, critical evidence, already submitted, eliminates the risk of tampering or witness influence, thus supporting his bail request. The hearing is set for July 21 for the prosecution's response.
