The Mumbai Police are intensifying efforts to verify the identity of a Bangladeshi man accused of stabbing Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan in a robbery incident. They have requested an extension of custody for the suspect, Shareeful Islam Shehzad Mohammad Rohilla Amin Fakir, to perform a facial recognition test to match him with CCTV footage.

The suspect, apprehended on January 19, allegedly entered the actor's Bandra apartment on January 16 and attacked Khan multiple times. Despite the arrest, Fakir's father has disputed the authenticity of the footage, suggesting a case of mistaken identity based on physical similarities.

Authorities continue to probe not only the attack's circumstances but also any additional offenses. They are examining whether Fakir had support from other Bangladeshi nationals in India and seeking collaborators who may have assisted him in securing false documents such as Aadhaar and PAN cards.
