As per a police report on Monday, the accused in Saif Ali Khan’s case hid in the garden of the Bandra building for two hours after stabbing the actor inside his apartment on January 16 during a burglary raid.
The accused was arrested on Sunday, and he initially tried to mislead the investigators by claiming to be a resident of Kolkata. However, police nailed his lie and secured his school leaving certificate from his Bangladesh based brother on his mobile phone, as per the officials.
The certificate became a strong evidence into proving that the arrested accused, identified as Shairful Islam Shehzad Mohammad Rohilla Amin Fakir, 30, is Bangladeshi national and has changed his name to Vijay Das.
“After committing the crime (On January 16), Fakir hid in the garden inside the Satguru Sharan building where Saif Ali Khan lives with his family for around two hours as he was afraid of getting caught,” the official said citing the preliminary investigation.
He said that the accused entered the actor’s apartment as he was looking for big money. However, the officials has not confirmed on whether he knew that Saif resides on the upper floors of the building and decided to commit theft. Fakir was arrested from Thane, three days after the violent attack.
