Saif Ali Khan Stabbing Case: Mumbai Police took the accused Shehzad to Bandra Court today, January 24, for the extension of custody. He was sent to police custody for five days following the attack on Saif Ali Kha. He sneaked into Saif and Kareena Kapoor's house during the wee hours of January 16 in the wake to demand ransom by holding Jeh hostage.

The court observed that there is substantial progress in the matter and to investigate other consequential aspects is necessary. The offence is serious and triable by the sessions court. Such investigation is necessary even for ascertaining the innocence of the accused so taking all facts into account the submissions pertaining to the notice under BNSS section 35 don't apply.
