Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan's attack case continues to take unexpected turns as new details emerge. The police have recorded statements from both Saif Ali Khan and his wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan. 

However, notable inconsistencies between their accounts have sparked widespread speculation about who is telling the truth.

According to Saif’s statement, he was on the 11th floor of his residence when the attack occurred. He claimed that after hearing the screams of their nanny, Eliaama Philip, he and Kareena went to their neighbor Zehar (Jahangir)’s house at midnight on January 15.

Kareena, on the other hand, offered a different version of events. She stated that Saif went to Zehar’s house alone, and she followed him later. These discrepancies have raised questions about what truly transpired that night.

The accused, Muhammad Shariful Islam, has been placed under a five-day police remand until January 29. Police have recovered the weapon allegedly used in the attack but are still investigating its origin. A forensic examination of Shariful and a facial recognition process have been approved by the court. 

The investigation officer, Ajay Lingurkar, stated that Shariful had not been cooperative during the interrogation. The officer added that the police have yet to recover the shoes worn by Shariful during the incident and verify their size. Authorities are also examining who may have been in contact with the accused and how he obtained identification documents under the alias "Vijay Das." 

Shariful's lawyer, Sandeep Sherkhane, has challenged the actor’s family’s response to the attack. Sherkhane questioned why there was a 45-minute delay in reporting the incident to the police and why the family did not call the emergency helpline or seek help from neighbors. 

He also raised doubts about why no family member accompanied Saif to the hospital, implying that the delayed response suggests the attack was not serious.

As the investigation unfolds, the inconsistencies in Saif and Kareena's statements add another layer of complexity to the case. The questions raised about the family’s response, combined with the lack of cooperation from the accused, leave the case shrouded in uncertainty.

The police are continuing their investigation, focusing on uncovering the connections and motives behind the attack. With public and media interest intensifying, the truth behind this high-profile case is eagerly awaited.
