Saif`s allegation does not carry much `weight`: Police

Saif`s allegation does not carry much `weight`: PoliceMumbai police probing Wednesday midnight brawl involving Saif Ali Khan on Friday said his counter complaint against South African businessman Iqbal Sharma doesn't carry "much weight" because the Bollywood actor had not suffered any injury.

Khan, in keeping with investigators, has also not submitted any medical report back to corroborate his claim that he too got injured throughout the fracas while acting in self-defence after being first hit by Sharma.

"While recording his statement, Saif repeatedly claimed that Sharma was the primary to hit him. But he also mentioned he reacted to defend himself. That may be enough for us to mention he had punched Sharma," said an investigating officer at Colaba police station.

"Moreover, Saif's complaint against Sharma doesn't hold much weight as he had no injuries," the officer added.

The police have recorded the statement of witnesses on the Taj Mahal hotel who were either present through the brawl at 'Wasabi' restaurant or had rushed to the spot on hearing the commotion.

"We have recorded the statement of Taj's staff," said Vinod Sawant, senior inspector on the police station but refused to divulge the contents.

Sources said the hotel management was asked to make available footage from CCTV cameras on the lobby, corridor and entrance to look in the event that they had captured any shots of the fight.

Investigators, who had pinned their hopes on CCTV footage for evidence against Khan, were left disappointed after they were told yesterday that there have been no video cameras installed within the area where the brawl had taken place.

Meanwhile, sources said Sharma has left for South Africa for some work after obtaining permission from the police.

Khan together with his two friends was on Wednesday arrested and released by police on bail after being charged with assaulting Indian origin South African national Sharma, who protested the noisy chatter of the actor and his friends on the Japanese restaurant.

The 41-year-old actor and his two friends Shakeel Ladak and Bilal Amrohi were booked under sections 325 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intent) of IPC.

What `really` irked Saif to come to blows!

What `really` irked Saif to come to blows! Much have been constructed from the scuffle Saif had at a five-star restaurant in Mumbai this week, where he was dining together with his girlfriend and co-star Kareena Kapoor, her sister Karisma, actress Amrita Arora and her husband Shakeel Ladakh at the side of producer Bilal Amrohi.

Saif in addition to the NRI South African businessman Iqbal Sharma and his father-in-law Raman Patel, both claim that the other party hit them first.

At a press conference at the strategic alliance of his new film Agent Vinod with World Series Hockey, the actor stated, "I'VE already said there are two sides to the tale. I'VE complete faith within the court of law and they'll best decide in regards to the case."

So what's this other side of the tale? Apparently, what really irked Saif is that one in all the NRI's used filthy language and abused his actress friends! It's said that words like "whores" and "prostitutes" were used for Saif's friends and that's what irked and provoked the otherwise polite actor to hit back in self-defense.

Inspite of such provocation, sources say that he only argued and didn't throw the primary blow! Surprisingly, it came from the elderly father-in-law of the NRI and then the scenario got violent.

Tajdar Amrohi, whose son Bilal was among two of Saif's friends who were also arrested and later granted bail, said, "It's an unfortunate incident. Probably, the NRIs seeked mileage or even managed to achieve it by seeing themselves on national television."

"I'm told the senior gentleman started the scuffle and Saif and his group only reacted. Besides they (the NRI group) were also passing filthy comments against the ladies on Saif's table," states Amrohi. Bang… there goes the 'real' story!

"From years together, Saif is understood to be a trendy and cool-headed guy. The opposite party will need to have used very unclean language to have upset a level-headed person like Saif," reiterates Bollywood PR guru Dale Bhagwagar.

It can also be noted here that Saif was awarded the Padma Shri civilian award in 2010 by the federal government of India by the hands of the President of India Ms Pratibha Patil.

"His films are some of the all-time great movies made on the planet. He's recognised internationally. A nine-day festival of his films was organised in Ny. The federal government has also issued stamp on him, so I MYSELF feel government should bring to mind giving him the Bharat Ratna," Arun Dutt, who's in Bhopal to advertise the Guru Dutt Film Academy, said.

Asked if he desires to colourise his father's classics, Arun Dutt said: "THE WONDERFUL THING ABOUT 'Pyaasa' lies in it's original form. The one possibility of colourising is 'Chaudhvin Ka Chand' but we haven't considered it yet."

About the changes within the industry over the years, Arun Dutt said that technology has replaced many of the art work, adding: "If he (Guru Dutt) were alive today, he would was disappointed with the best way the Indian film industry is functioning."
