He had no idea that that night could become fatal for him. A person had entered his house. He attacked Saif with a knife. He was injured and admitted to the hospital. The attacker fled after the attack, the incident took place on Thursday. The police arrested the accused late on Saturday night. The surprising thing is that the accused was hiding his name. Let us read in this news about the person who stabbed Saif in the back.
He told his name as Vijay Das but the police did not believe him. After some time, during interrogation, the accused revealed his real name as Mohammad Ilyas. He is a resident of West Bengal. However, the police did not tell what was its motive behind hiding the name. Mumbai Police will hold a Mumbai Police press conference today at 9 am.

Ilyas works as a sweeper
Ilyas, who attacked Saif, works in a bar. There he worked as a sweeper. A team of about 100 officers was formed to arrest him late last night. He was arrested at 2-3 in the night. He stayed in Worli for 15 days before the attack. According to the police, he has accepted his crime.
According to Saif’s maid, injured Saif and the house staff had locked the intruder in a room. After this he went to another room to treat the wounds of actor and maid Philip. It remains a mystery as to how the suspect managed to escape from the room. Another mystery is why Saif was taken to the hospital in an auto instead of his car.
The auto driver said Saif was accompanied by a “small child” – possibly his eight-year-old son Taimur. And a young man, who was probably Ibrahim. Sources quoted Kareena as telling the police: “After the attack, I was scared and shaken, so Karisma (her sister and actor) came and took me to her home.” Mumbai Police has recorded statements of more than 30 people, including a carpenter who worked at the actor’s flat two days before the incident.
