MUMBAI: Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has met auto-rickshaw driver Bhajan Singh Rana, who rushed him to hospital after he was injured in the knife attack at his home in Mumbai in the wee hours last week, and thanked him for the timely help. The driver told PTI that Saif also gave him some money and assured all help to him whenever needed. Rana said on reaching the Lilavati Hospital in Bandra just before Saif was discharged on Tuesday evening , he met the film star and his family members and touched the feet of his mother, veteran actress Sharmila Tagore, out of reverence. The auto driver said they treated him with respect and also clicked pictures with him. He said Khan promised to stay in touch with him. Khan (54) was repeatedly stabbed by a Bangladeshi national inside his 12th-floor apartment in the upscale Bandra area in the wee hours of January 16 during a robbery attempt. He suffered multiple stab injuries and underwent two surgeries at the private hospital, located a few kilometres away from the actor's building. I met him (Saif) yesterday (Tuesday) at the hospital. He called to thank me for taking him to the hospital. He praised me. I got the blessings from him and his family, the auto-rickshaw driver said. He (Khan) introduced me to his mother (Sharmila Tagore), and I touched her feet. He gave me (money) whatever he felt was right, and said whenever I need help he will be there, Rana said. The intruder, Shareeful Islam Shehzad Mohammad Rohilla Amin Fakir (30), who illegally entered India last year and changed his name to Vijay Das, was arrested on Sunday from adjoining Thane city. A preliminary investigation suggests the accused, currently in police custody, had entered the actor's home intending to commit theft, police said. Meanwhile, police officials said on Wednesday that multiple departments under the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) at Kalina will examine key pieces of evidence seized during the investigation of the stabbing case. A variety of materials, including mobile phones, clothes of the accused, and CCTV footage seized following the arrest of Fakir have been sent to the FSL for examination. FSL departments such as Tape Authentication and Speaker Identification (TASI), Biology, DNA, Footprints, Physics, Cyber, and others will be involved in analysing the evidence, a police official said. He said police didn't notice blood stains on the clothes of the accused seized from his bag when he was arrested from Thane. The official said investigators are facing difficulty in interrogating Fakir due to the language barrier as he speaks Hindi with a heavy Bangladeshi accent. He has been asked to speak slowly so that police could decipher his statements. Police on Tuesday reconstructed the sequence of events of the crime that unfolded at Khan's building, 'Satguru Sharan'. The accused was taken to a nearby building briefly during the recreation of the crime scene, the official added. Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam commented on the quick recovery of the Bollywood actor. The doctors at Lilavati Hospital said the knife had penetrated 2.5 inches inside Saif Ali Khan's back and his surgery went on for six hours. They should tell us if a person who underwent a six-hour long operation can recover so quickly, Nirupam asked. Shiv Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut also spoke of the actor's speedy recovery. The knife was wedged deep, but Saif walked out alive from the hospital. This is nothing short of a miracle by the doctors,Raut said.

80-yr-old woman reunited with family in Ahmednagar after three decades
Thane: An 80-year-old woman, who went missing from her home in Maharashtra's Ahmednagar district 30 years ago, has been reunited with her family, thanks to efforts made by staff at the Thane Mental Hospital, an official said on Wednesday. Three decades ago, the woman's 13-year-old son tragically died due to an electric shock after climbing a tamarind tree. Overcome with grief and unable to cope up with the loss, the woman left her home in a distressed state and went missing, Thane Mental Hospital's superintendent Dr Netaji Mulik said. The woman later reached Nashik, where she wandered in the Panchvati locality for years. Two years ago, the Nashik police found her in a deteriorated physical and mental condition. After realising that she had a memory loss, they shifted her to the Thane Mental Hospital for care and treatment, the official said. At the hospital, the medical team provided her a comprehensive treatment. Once she showed signs of improvement, the team began working to establish her identity and locate her family. The process was challenging as the woman's recollections of her past were vague and fragmented, Dr Mulik said. Despite not much success initially, the hospital staff gradually pieced together clues about her hometown, contacted the police in Ahmednagar, located about 250 km from here, and traced her relatives there, he said. After receiving information, the woman's family members, including her daughter-in-law, cousins and nephews, visited the hospital here on January 17 and met her for the first time in 30 years. We are deeply touched by the extraordinary care and dedication of the medical team, a family member said. The family has taken the woman back to Ahmednagar. Seeing the family together again is our greatest reward, Dr Mulik said.

Mumbai Congress president Milind Deora Mumbai Congress president Milind Deora Mumbai: In the wake of the knife attack on Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan, Shiv Sena MP Milind Deora on Tuesday appealed to the Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis to undertake a thorough audit of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants across the state. He also demanded strict action against agencies which fail to verify documents before giving jobs to individuals. In his letter to the CM, Deora has drawn attention to the urgent issue of Bangladeshi immigrants and their unchecked employment across various sectors of the states economy. It is imperative that the Government of Maharashtra conducts a comprehensive audit of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants residing and working in the state. This initiative should involve district collectors, local municipalities, and law enforcement agencies, working in coordination to identify, verify and act against undocumented individuals, he said in the letter. Deora has demanded that staffing and recruitment companies must be held responsible and they must be penalised if they were found getting jobs for illegal immigrants without verifying their documents like Aadhaar cards. I strongly urge the Government of Maharashtra to implement stringent regulations mandating staffing agencies to verify the authenticity of all documents before placing individuals in jobs. There is also a need to introduce penalties for non-compliance, including fines and cancellation of licenses for agencies found guilty of neglecting this responsibility. There is a need to conduct regular inspections to ensure compliance with these regulations, he stated. Police on Sunday arrested the accused, Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad (30) alias Vijay Das, from neighbouring Thane city for stabbing the 54-year-old Bollywood star in the early hours of January 16.

Earlier in the day, police said Shehzad hails from Jhalokathi, also called Jhalakathi, district in southern Bangladesh's Barisal division, adding that he was in Mumbai for the past five months, during which he did petty jobs, including at a housekeeping agency. He has been charged under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 311 (robbery or dacoity with the intent to cause grievous hurt or death), 331(4) (house-breaking) and other offences as well as provisions of Passport Act, the official said. A detailed probe has begun into how he managed to enter the country illegally, the kind of documents he possesses and how he obtained them, the official said. The accused was remanded in police custody till January 24 after he was produced in Bandra court this afternoon. The court observed that the police's contention of an international conspiracy cannot be ruled out. Police told court the alleged attacker was a Bangladeshi national and there was need to find the motive behind his act. Police also told court they needed to find out if there was an international conspiracy linked to the case. Accepting the police's contention after perusing documents on record, the court said the prosecution's submission of international conspiracy cannot be said to be impossible. Incidentally, during the remand hearing in the Bandra metropolitan magistrate's court, defence lawyer Sandeep D Sherkhane contended his client was residing in the country for several years and has vital documents (for staying in the country) and that his family is also residing in India. Saif Ali Khan, one of Bollywood's leading actors, was repeatedly stabbed with a knife by an intruder inside his 12th-floor apartment in 'Satguru Sharan' building in upscale Bandra in the early hours of January 16.
