Shariful allegedly entered Saif's home and attacked him with a knife in the early hours of January 16. He was eventually caught hiding in the mangroves in Thane on Sunday.

Shariful, a Bangladeshi national, was presented again before the court, which extended his police custody until January 29. He was arrested from Thane early Sunday.
