Bad thing? It’s just how it is (sic)”.

Mumbai: In the Saif Ali Khan stabbing case, the Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Bandra sent the accused, Shariful Islam, to judicial custody for 14 days.

The court has rejected the police’s demand for a two-day extension of custody.

The court advised the police to read the new BNS. It also stated that if new evidence emerges during the investigation, police custody can be sought again as per the new BNS laws.

The court said in the current situation, extending the accused’s police custody cannot be justified.
