The chargesheet stated that the accused tried to enter the building through the main gate but couldn’t do so due to the fingerprint recognition lock at the gate. He then used the duct area to climb the building and got to the first floor. From there, he used the staircase to reach Saif’s apartment. “Shariful climbed up to the 8th floor using the staircase and entered Saif Ali Khan’s flat. He was carrying a knife, a hacksaw blade, and a hammer in his bag. He attacked the caretaker, Eliyama Philip, with the knife and demanded Rs 1 crore,” a police officer told Midday.
Seeing him attack his house help, Saif held Shariful from behind, but he started stabbing the actor without knowing who he was. However, after he realised whom he had attacked, he panicked and fled the house. “His motive was robbery – he didn’t know he was attacking Saif Ali Khan. Once he realised what had happened, he panicked and fled,” the officer said.
What did Saif’s attacker do after the attack?
After attacking Saif at his apartment at Satguru Sharan building in the upscale Bandra (West), Shariful went to National College bus stop, barely 300 metres from Saif’s apartment building. He changed his clothes at the bus stand and spent the night there till 7 am. He then went to the Bandra Talao area and disposed of the knife and the clothes he had worn during the attack.

Then he headed to Bandra railway station, where after strolling for 20 minutes, he proceeded to Dadar. The suspect reached Dadar station at 8:45 am. In Dadar West, he was captured on CCTV buying headphones at 9:00 am from a small shop and was seen eating bhurji pav. “He visited Ikara Mobile Shop and purchased a wired headphone for Rs 50,” said the police officer. He then walked to his residence in Worli. He was eventually caught from Thane’s Ghodbunder area while he was hiding in dense mangroves nearly 70 hours after the attack.
