Saif Ali Khan’s attacker was caught stealing diamond ring from Guest while working at Worli pub

Mohammed Shariful Islam, also known as Vijay Das, who was arrested for attacking Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan during a failed burglary attempt at his Bandra home, has a past linked to theft. Islam, originally from Bangladesh, was caught stealing a diamond ring from a guest while working at a pub in Worli Koliwada, Mumbai.

A few months ago, Islam was working as a housekeeping staff at the pub when he stole a diamond ring from a guest. The guest noticed the ring was missing and reported it to the pub management. After checking CCTV footage, it was clear that Islam had taken the ring, leading to his dismissal from the pub.

A colleague from the pub said that no one knew Islam was from Bangladesh. “We only found out about his background after the news broke. He was a good worker but sometimes acted strangely. He never spoke about his family or where he came from,” the colleague shared.

After the theft, Islam moved to Thane and worked in another job, but he was let go when his contractor’s contract was canceled in December. The police discovered that Islam had been hired through a contractor and later learned about his previous theft and criminal activities.
