MUMBAI: Mumbai police early Wednesday registered a case against Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan for allegedly assaulting a patron in the Taj Mahal Hotel in south Mumbai.
“A team of officers has gone to Saif’s residence for further investigations and the further course will be decided later,” Assistant Commissioner of Police Iqbal Shaikh of the Colaba region, which lodged the complaint, told IANS.
The incident occurred shortly after midnight Tuesday when Saif, along with his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor and some other friends, was sitting in the Wasabi Restaurant at the Taj Mahal Hotel.
Disturbed by their ruckus, the patron, Iqbal Sharma requested them to keep their voices down.
Apparently enraged by this, Saif allegedly punched Sharma on the face, reportedly breaking his nose.
Later, Sharma went to the Colaba police station and lodged a complaint against Saif.
Saif has been booked under, among others, Section 325 of the Indian Penal Code (assault), but Shaikh declined to specify whether he would be arrested, saying: “Investigations are in progress.”

Shame on you Saif! I believe he and his company the women included were behaving like hooligans and they bashed up the old father in law of the guy as well. They have brought shame upon our country!

Is there any record that a bollywood actor has been jailed? He has been bailed out on a surety of meagre Rs.3000.His Taj restaurant bill would have been higher than that!Recommend

Saif Ali Khan, Fardeen Khan ( Caught with cociane), Salman Khan ( Car accident killing innocent poor pavement people, killing innocent Black Buck Deers ) , Shahrukh khan ( getting into brawl with fellow colleagues..) ..all these so-called celebrities have history of taking Law in their hands. Time has come to come strongly on them..and punish them, so that it becomes deterrent for others.
