Saif Ali Khan Stabbing Case: Netizens Claim Attacker Spotted On CCTV & Man Arrested By Mumbai Police Are Not Same | X

The Mumbai Police identified a 30-year-old man named Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad as the accused in the Saif Ali Khan stabbing case and arrested him in Thane on Sunday. As the visuals from the arrest surfaced on social media, netizens claimed the arrested man didn't resemble the attacker who broke into the actor's Bandra apartment and stabbed him.

Netizens compared the visuals of Shehzad from his arrest with that of the attacker, as recorded in the CCTV camera of the actor's residence. They pointed out that the two visuals showed different persons. Posting both photos adjacent to each other on X, users alleged Mumbai Police arrested not the attacker but someone else in the Saif Ali Khan stabbing case.

एक सवाल मन में आया कि क्या सच में ये दोनों एक ही व्यक्ति। उम्र,नाक, होठ,बाल,वजन कुछ भी तो एक जैसा नहीं लग रहा। लेकिन मुंबई पुलिस का कहना है कि हमने सैफ पर हमला करने वाले को गिरफ्तार कर लिया। क्या कोई झोल है? #SaifAliKhan #Bangladeshi #VijayDas #SaifAliKhanAttacked pic.twitter.com/PtEbcFGDdr

Many X posts suggested that the man arrested by the city police was "Not the same guy" as seen in the CCTV camera on Thursday.

"Mumbai police is confused! They are not the same person. There's no resemblance at all", a netizen named Riyaz wrote.

"Even a child can say both are different and not the same guy... One in CCTV and one who got arrested nowhere similar", said another user named Qayed.

Netizens noted down some of the differences between the two persons. Firstly, they pointed out the age difference and said that the arrested man looked much older than the one recorded on the CCTV camera.

Further, X users took note of the facial features of the attacker and stated they didn't match with Shehzad. "Age, nose, lips, hair, weight, nothing seems to be the same. But Mumbai Police says that we have arrested the person who attacked Saif. Is there any discrepancy?", people questioned on social media.

Hours after the attack on Saif Ali Khan, a CCTV footage capturing an intruder walking through the staircases of the actor's apartment in Bandra, Mumbai surfaced online. The footage recorded the face of the man who entered to allegedly commit robbery but stabbed the actor multiple times. The video was captured with a timestamp of around 2.30 AM on Thursday.

More details about the stabbing case
