A Daring Break-In at Saif Ali Khan’s Residence

On January 16, around 2 a.m., the accused entered Saif Ali Khan’s Bandra home through the rear staircase and air-conditioning ducts. His intent was robbery, but the incident escalated, endangering the actor and his family. The intruder later claimed he was unaware of the residence's high-profile occupants.

Mumbai Police Launches a Massive Manhunt

The Mumbai Police quickly formed 30 teams to track the accused. CCTV footage from the building revealed the suspect leaving the premises after the attack. Investigators expanded their search by reviewing hours of citywide CCTV footage. The breakthrough came when cameras in Andheri’s DN Nagar captured the suspect dismounting a motorcycle. The bike’s registration details led the police closer to Shehzad.

Unmasking the Bangladeshi Attacker

The suspect was identified as Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, who had been living in India illegally under the alias Vijay Das. Investigations revealed he had entered India months ago, using fake identities to secure jobs. Police confirmed his Bangladeshi origin based on seized evidence and the absence of valid Indian documents.

Coordinated Operation Leads to Arrest

Shehzad was tracked to a rented accommodation in Worli, where he lived with three others. Using intelligence inputs, police identified his location in a secluded area in Thane. The team surrounded him and took him into custody without incident. DCP Dixit Gedam confirmed that Shehzad would be produced in court, and custody was sought to investigate his motives and background further.
