A court has refused to accept a guilty plea from Shariful Fakir, a Bangladeshi national accused of attacking Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan. Fakir was produced before the court via video conferencing, where his plea was rejected. As a result, the trial against him will continue. The court offered Fakir legal aid after he declined to accept representation.

The court's decision comes after Fakir expressed his desire to plead guilty in an application sent from prison last month. His bail application, which has been pending, will now be heard as part of the trial proceedings. Further details on the case are available from the source. The trial will proceed, with Fakir facing the charges against him.
