Mumbai Mohammad Shariful Islam Shahzad, who attacked actor Saif Ali Khan with a knife, was being very clever. Shariful, who fled from the spot after the attack on Saif Ali Khan, had switched off his mobile phone. If he saw a CCTV camera installed wherever he passed, he would hide his face. He was also changing his clothes. According to ABP News, Shariful, who attacked Saif Ali Khan, made the same mistake that criminals usually do. He switched on his mobile and dialed a phone number. After this he switched off his mobile phone again.
