Accused in Saif Ali Khan attack case seeks to plead guilty

The Bangladeshi national arrested for allegedly stabbing actor Saif Ali Khan at his house in Bandra in January 2025 approached a court here on Friday and sought to plead guilty in the case.

Mohammad Shariful Islam, arrested two days after the incident, is currently in judicial custody.

He filed an application expressing his willingness to plead guilty and sought leniency from the court, his lawyer Vipul Dushing said.

The court asked the prosecution to file its reply and adjourned the hearing to September 11.
