Shariful Fakir, the Bangladeshi national who allegedly attacked actor Saif Ali Khan at his residence at Bandra in Bombay in January, sought bail, claiming that he was falsely implicated and the FIR was merely an imaginary account by the complainant, a staff nurse employed at the actor’s house. Fakir was arrested on January 19, three days after the attack.
The bail application is scheduled for hearing before the sessions court on April 1. The 19-page plea says that Fakir had co-operated in the investigations and no useful purpose would be served by detaining him further in custody, save and except pre-trial punishment.
