New details regarding the Saif Ali Khan stabbing case have emerged.

The entire nation was left shocked last week after Saif Ali Khan was stabbed multiple times by an intruder at his Bandra residence in Mumbai. Now, fresh details are emerging as Mumbai Police have caught hold of the main accused. As per the officials, the alleged attacker of the ‘Devara’ actor hid in the garden of the Bandra building for two hours after stabbing Saif Ali Khan. The 30-year-old attacker has been identified as Shariful Islam Shehzad Mohammad Rohilla Amin Fakir, who 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, as per PTI.

The main accused was arrested on Sunday. As per reports, he initially tried to mislead the police by claiming that he is a resident of Kolkata. However, interrogation revealed that he is a Bangladesh national identified as Shariful Islam Shehzad Mohammad Rohilla Amin Fakir.

The official also stated that the main accused entered Saif's apartment as he was looking for money. However, it has not been confirmed whether the accused knew that Saif Ali Khan lived on the upper floors of the building.

“After he was nabbed by police, Fakir told police that his name was Vijay Das and he was a resident of Kolkata. He, however, failed to provide any document to support his claim. He disclosed his true name and Bangladeshi nationality during interrogation,” the official said.

“He called his brother and asked him to send his school living certificate. His brother sent it (the certificate) on Fakir's mobile phone. This document is strong evidence to prove he is a Bangladeshi national,” the official added.

The main accused was remanded in police custody for five days on Sunday. On Tuesday morning, the police officials took Fakir to Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor's house and railway station to recreate the crime scene.

For the unversed, Saif Ali Khan was repeatedly stabbed with a knife by the intruder inside his apartment in Bandra. The actor was later deemed “out of danger” after doctors performed emergency multiple surgeries.

Reportedly, Saif Ali Khan's domestic help raised the alarm when the intruder gained entry into the apartment. She also sustained a minor injury to her hand during the scuffle.

Saif and Kareena, who have been married since 2012, live in the Satguru Sharan building in Mumbai's Bandra West. They are parents to two sons -- Taimur and Jeh.
