Shariful Islam Shahzad – illegal migrants of Bangladesh, who are accused of stabbing Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan last week – Bangladesh Nationalist Party, his father Mohammad Ruhul Amin on a telephone conversation with NDTV on Friday Said.
Mr. Amin said that his son – he has described 30 years old with “heavy” face and long -haired, and insisted that he is not the man who has been arrested by the Mumbai Police – he had fled to Bangladesh in March last year .
Talking to NDTV today, he suggested that Shahzad had escaped to avoid political harassment at the hands of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s then ruling Awami League, which was overthrown in August. Former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia’s BNP was then in opposition.
“My son went to India in 2024 … in the last week of March or in the first week of April. This was his intention. Hasina government was in power for 16 years. There were false cases … even mobile theft of mobile theft The case (against him) was also bad (and) My son felt that he could not live in the country, so he (to find a job) decided to go to India.
Officials – who say that they have recovered the Bangladeshi government documents that confirmed Shahzad’s nationality – believe that he has been living in India since then in the name of Bijoy Das.
Asked if Shahzad ran away due to cases against him, Mr. Amin said, “No, he did not run.”
“There (too) was tortured a lot. There were cases against him without any crime. I and my two sons work for BNP … I am in a position and (against me) there were many false cases. ” ,
Mr. Amin also emphasized that the person captured in CCTV camera at Saif Ali Khan’s residence – whom the police arrested from Thane on Sunday after tracking a paratha and some water through UPI payment – He is not his son. He told NDTV, “CCTV photos are not of my son.”
“He is 30 years old. His face is heavy from a young age, and has hair on both sides (but small) … In the photo (CCTV footage), hair comes up to the eyes. That kind of hair is not my son Not (so), it is not his, “he said repeating the matter mentioned to the news agency IANS a day earlier.
He had said, “… My son never keeps his hair long. I believe that my son is being implicated.”
He also indicated that Shahzad had worked in the hospitality industry; He said that the hotels in Mumbai were big and they used to get better payment than Bengal or Kolkata, which caused many people to believe it.
And when NDTV asked him if the Indian police had reported him about his son’s arrest, he said: “No one has come. We have not known anyone in India. We have no support there.”
A Mumbai court extended the police custody of Shahzad till 29 January this afternoon. The court said that the police needed more time to recover important evidence including some of his clothes.
Like his father, Shahzad’s lawyers are equally emphasizing that his client is innocent, and one of the most special areas of Mumbai – replies to the uproar on the attack on a major personality living in Bandra West in West West. I am being made a sacrifice of sacrifice.
Saif Ali Khan stabbed six wounds in the attack, one of which was also near his spine, and had to be taken in emergency surgery. Five days later he was discharged and he is back home.
