Mumbai, July 20: Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was attacked in his house on January 15. In this case, the police arrested Shariful Islam. Shariful is a Bangladeshi, who is still lodged in Arthur Road Jail in Mumbai. Now after 5 months, Shariful has sought bail. Shariful says that he has been accused on the basis of a fictional story.
The accused in the case, Shariful Islam, filed a bail plea on Friday. The bail plea will be heard on July 23. Shariful Islam’s lawyer Vipul Dushing has written in the plea that Shariful has no criminal record. The investigation of the incident is almost complete, now only filing of the charge sheet is left. The CCTV footage, call records and necessary evidence are already with the prosecution. There is no danger of tampering with evidence and influencing witnesses now.
The lawyer says that the current FIR contains nothing but the imaginary story of the complainant. This is why Shariful Islam should now be granted bail.
