Saif’s Attacker Moves Court Seeking to Declare His Arrest Illegal
In a shocking turn of events, Mohammad Shariful Islam, the accused who is suspected of stabbing Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan during a party in Delhi, has filed an application in a Mumbai court seeking to declare his arrest as illegal. Islam, who was arrested by the Delhi Police on January 12, claims that the investigators “blatantly disregarded” section 47 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (BNSS), which informs the accused of the grounds of arrest and their right to bail.
According to the plea filed by Islam’s lawyer, the police did not communicate the details of all the offences he was charged with in writing, as required by law. This, Islam’s lawyer argues, is a clear violation of his client’s fundamental rights and therefore, his arrest should be declared illegal.
The incident that led to Islam’s arrest took place on January 1, when Saif Ali Khan was allegedly stabbed during a party at a restaurant in Delhi. Islam, who was also present at the party, was arrested by the police the next day and charged with attempt to murder.
Islam’s lawyer has argued that his client was not informed of the grounds of his arrest and was not given a copy of the chargesheet, as required by law. The lawyer has also claimed that Islam was not allowed to consult with his lawyer during the initial stages of the investigation, which is also a violation of his client’s rights.
The police, on the other hand, have denied any wrongdoing and have claimed that Islam was arrested after a thorough investigation and following a thorough investigation. The police have also argued that Islam was given a copy of the chargesheet and was informed of the grounds of his arrest, as required by law.
This is not the first time that Islam has challenged his arrest in court. Earlier, he had filed a petition in the Delhi High Court seeking to quash the FIR (First Information Report) filed against him. However, the court had rejected his petition and had directed him to approach the trial court for relief.
Islam’s lawyer has argued that the police have been trying to frame his client and that the investigation has been biased from the start. The lawyer has also claimed that there is no tangible evidence against Islam and that the police have been relying on hearsay evidence to build their case against him.
The trial in the case is likely to begin soon, with the prosecution having already completed its investigation and filed the chargesheet. The defense team is expected to challenge the charges and argue that the prosecution has failed to prove its case against Islam.
The case has been closely watched by the media and the public, with many people expressing outrage over the alleged attack on Saif Ali Khan. The incident has also raised questions about the safety and security of celebrities in public places.
In conclusion, the case of Saif Ali Khan’s attacker moving court seeking to declare his arrest illegal is a significant development in the ongoing investigation. The case highlights the importance of upholding the rights of accused persons and ensuring that they are treated fairly and justly by the law.
