On January 16, Saif Ali Khan was attacked after entering his house. In the investigation of this case, RPF had arrested Akash Kanojia from Durg, Chhattisgarh considering him a suspect. Immediately after his arrest, Shariful was arrested from Mumbai and confessed to the crime, due to which Akash was released. Now a statement of Akash has come out in which he said that his life has been ruined by the arrest. He lost his job and his marriage broke due to his arrest. According to Akash, when he was arrested, he had gone out to meet his future bride.
In a recent interview to PTI, 31-year-old Akash Kanojia said, my family was shocked when the media started showing my photos and claimed that I am a suspect in this case. The mistake of Mumbai Police ruined my life. What they failed to notice was that I had a mustache and the person seen in the CCTV of Saif’s building did not have a moustache.

Akash Kanojia was arrested on January 18.
Akash Kanojia further said, I got a call from the police, in which they asked where I was. As soon as I said I was at home, the call got disconnected. I was on my way to meet my future bride, when I was arrested from Durg and taken to Raipur. Then Mumbai Police reached there and exploited me.
In the conversation, Akash said that his life was ruined after his arrest. He said, when I called my boss, he told me not to come to the job. He did not even listen to my explanation. My grandmother told me that the girl with whom I was talking about marriage had refused to take things forward.

On his arrest, Akash said, two cases are already pending against me, this does not mean that I should be considered a suspect in any case. I have decided that I will stand outside Saif Ali Khan’s building and ask for a job. I lost everything because of what happened to them.
During the conversation, Akash also said that after that Shariful was arrested, otherwise the police would have presented him as the main accused.

Let us tell you that Saif Ali Khan was attacked late night on 16 January, after which he was admitted to Lilavati Hospital. Three people were arrested in this case. The first arrest was on January 17, of a man named Shahid, although he was released. The second arrest took place on January 18 from Akash Kanojia Fort, he was also released. The third arrest was made on January 19 of Shariful Islam, who is in police custody.
