MUMBAI, Jan 20: Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, the 30-year-old Bangladeshi national arrested for allegedly stabbing actor Saif Ali Khan during a failed robbery attempt, told police that he was a wrestler in Bangladesh before coming to India, sources said.
Shehzad revealed during interrogation that he used to compete in the lower weight category at district-level and national-level wrestling championships in Bangladesh.
His wrestling background, he claimed, enabled him to attack Saif Ali Khan without sustaining any injuries himself, police sources added.
After committing the crime, Shehzad reportedly changed his clothes three-four times to evade detection. He moved across multiple locations, travelling from Bandra to Dadar, Worli, and finally to Thane. (IANS)
