Mumbai, January 27:
Mumbai Police conducted a search operation in West Bengal’s Nadia district on Monday and apprehended a woman linked to the attack on actor Saif Ali Khan, according to sources.
The investigation revealed that the SIM card used by a Bangladeshi national, previously arrested in Mumbai for the attack, was registered in the woman’s name.
A two-member team of Mumbai Police had arrived in West Bengal on Sunday to carry out the operation.
The woman, identified as Khukhumoni Jahangir Sheikh, had ties with the arrested Bangladeshi individual, Shariful Fakir. Fakir reportedly entered India illegally through the India-Bangladesh border near Siliguri in North Bengal and later established contact with the woman.
The accused woman is originally from Andulia in Murshidabad district, West Bengal. Mumbai Police are expected to seek a transit remand to take her to Mumbai for further investigation.
