The accused, identified as Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, was arrested from Thane city on Sunday, January 19, 2025. Shehzad, who initially provided a false name, admitted to breaking into Saif Ali Khan's residence on the 12th floor and carrying out the attack. He used multiple aliases, including Bijoy Das, Vijay Das, Mohammad Illyas, and BJ, and was employed at a housekeeping agency. The Mumbai Police, following a major breakthrough, apprehended Shehzad at a labor camp near a metro construction site in the Hiranandani Estate area of Thane.
