Two servants at Saif Ali Khan's residence have identified Bangladeshi man Shariful Fakir as the person who attacked the actor after gaining entry into his house here last month, a police official said on Thursday.
Shariful Islam Shehzad Mohammad Rohilla Amin Fakir (30) alias Vijay Das was arrested last month for allegedly stabbing the actor and is now behind bars in judicial custody.
The Mumbai police on Wednesday conducted an Identification Parade (IP) at the Arthur Road jail here in connection with the case of the attack on Khan, he said.
Eliyamma Phillip (56), a staffer at Khan's residence, and househelp Junu identified Shariful as the person who attacked the actor, the official said.
The identification parade was held in the presence of a tehsildar and five panchas, he said.
Phillp is the only witness in the case as she also was reportedly attacked by the accused, police said.
Last month, the city police had said a facial recognition test had confirmed that the face of the Bangladeshi man arrested for allegedly stabbing Khan matched with the person seen in the CCTV footage from the Satguru Sharan building in Bandra area where the actor lives.
Shariful allegedly broke into the Bollywood star's 12th-floor apartment in the early hours of January 16 and stabbed him six times before fleeing the scene, they said.
He was arrested from neighboring Thane city three days later.
Following the knife attack, Khan, 54, was admitted to the nearby Lilavati Hospital, where he underwent two surgeries. He was discharged from the private hospital on January 21.
