Mumbai: February 22nd
Actor Saif Ali Khan, 41, was arrested on Wednesday after a guest at one of Mumbai's high profile hotels registered a case of assault against the actor, accusing him of punching him in the nose following a heated argument. Khan's girlfriend and actress Kareena Kapoor was present when the incident happened late Tuesday. He was later granted bail. The midnight brawl at the Wasabi restaurant in the Taj Hotel got ugly when Iqbal Sharma, a South African of Indian origin, complained to Khan and his guests, including actresses Malaika Arora Khan and Amrita Rao, that they were making too much noise at their table. Sharma, who was seated at an adjacent table at the time of the incident, claimed he did not know who Khan was. Sharma said Saif called him an "idiot" for complaining about the actor's loud conduct and asked him to go to a library if he wanted peace and quiet before assaulting him. The police have registered an FIR against Khan and his friends under sections 325 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intent) of IPC.
