A major news that seems to be trending currently is the burglary and attempted murder case in Saif Ali Khan’s apartment in Mumbai. The news has been a major matter of concern since the actor had to face a life-threatening situation while attempting to stop the robbery. Mr. Saif was critically injured after a robber, who had tried to steal things from his apartment, stabbed him in the back repeatedly.
Because of this Mr. Khan suffered major blood loss and fell on the floor while the robber fled. This attempt has raised several questions about the actual motive of the burglar and whether Bollywood actors and actresses are being targeted by certain malicious people who have always had something to do with the Indian film industry. However, the burglar was caught soon by the police. And the details about the culprit will shock you even more. Let us show you who this person is and what their capture actually means regarding the society and security in India.
Who Is The Main Culprit That Attacked Saif Ali Khan?
The Mumbai Police force have finally captured the main culprit who tried to kill Saif Ali Khan while trying to attempt a robbery. The accused is named as Shariful Islam Shehzad. Shariful is a Bangladeshi man who entered India illegally. He used a fake identity of a Hindu man in order to make official documents regarding his identity.
After trying to murder Mr. Khan, Shariful tried to escape Mumbai as soon as possible. He had even tried to buy a ticket to Howrah and then take a train from Kolkata to Bangladesh. However, the travel agents who were supposed to give him the ticket were corrupt themselves and wanted more money from him. This caused Shariful to fail the escape attempt which ultimately led to him getting captured by the police in Thane.
According to Shariful’s statements, Mr. Khan, despite being injured, managed to tackle him down. With the help of his housekeepers, Mr. Khan was able to lock Shariful into a room in the apartment. However, Shariful escaped through the air conditioning duct and somehow managed to come to the emergency stairs and escape from there.
Shariful also stated that he and many other people, who are all Bangladeshi immigrants, have been committing robberies in Mumbai due to the low income that they get from their jobs and the lack of a stable and sustainable income. They previously robbed people who were either from upper or lower middle class backgrounds. But they got the idea of attacking Mr. Saif’s house since he is someone who already possesses a lot of riches.
What This Case Says About Indian Security and Society
The case shows that the Indian government is failing to prevent illegal Bangladeshi immigrants from entering into India. Despite the Modi government’s promise to tighten security in the places near the Bangladesh border, somehow people like Shariful are still able to enter this country.
The police are also baffled as to how easily Shariful was able to create fake identity cards and certificates with a Hindu name. This shows that there might be a lot of incompetent and corrupt people working in the passport offices of India. Hence, it is necessary for the Indian government to take action against such people and ensure better security.
The society’s reaction to what happened to Saif Ali Khan is also unique and a mix of both good and bad. Some people are praying that Mr. Saif gets better while there are others who are saying that it is a fake publicity stunt for Saif to stay relevant in the limelight. Such comments seem to be rather insensitive. Many Bollywood actors like Urvashi Rautela are also being insensitive towards Mr. Saif’s condition on social media as well which is making people think that almost every Bollywood actor is hypocritical in nature.
Many political figures are also attacking the Mumbai government as well. Several politicians have stated that Mumbai was always unsafe and is still like what it was when terrorists used to attack it and gangsters thrived by attacking people. They are also saying that if people like Mr. Saif cannot be secure then no one can feel secure in this city. But the Mumbai government is assuring that the city’s police are doing a great job in making the city safe and such petty crimes can happen sometimes which does not necessarily make this region entirely unsafe.
A Final Word
Mr. Khan is now completely free of danger, as told by his doctors. They also stated that he needs to take rest for at least a month since he had lost a lot of blood. Many netizens are applauding Saif Ali Khan for being brave enough to stop a robbery despite dangers. However, some people are simply being insensitive.
This shows that Indian society has a mix of the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to people and their mindsets. However, it is also confirmed that India needs to work more on its security in order to prevent illegal immigrants from attacking people. The nation also has to resolve the job crisis that is forcing even legal citizens to commit crimes.
