Police in Mumbai have arrested a suspect in the shocking knife attack on Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan at his home last week.
The suspect, Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, was arrested in Thane, on the outskirts of Mumbai.
Authorities allege that Shehzad, believed to be a Bangladeshi national staying in India illegally, intended to rob Khan.
Deputy Commissioner of Mumbai Police Dixit Gedam revealed that Shehzad had been living in Mumbai for six months, working at a housekeeping agency under a fake identity. On Sunday, a Mumbai court ordered him into five days of police custody.
The attack on Khan, one of Bollywood’s most celebrated stars, has dominated national headlines, raising concerns about security in Mumbai.
DAILY POST had reported that Khan sustained six stab wounds, including one near his neck, and underwent surgery.
His wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and their children were reportedly at home during the incident but were unharmed.
According to Eliyama Philip, a nurse employed at Khan’s home, the intruder entered late at night.
Armed with a wooden object and a blade, he demanded ₹10 million ($115,477) while warning against raising an alarm. A scuffle ensued, during which Philip was injured, and Khan was stabbed before the attacker fled.
Shehzad’s lawyer, Sandeep Shikhane, dismissed the allegations, claiming his client was being made a “scapegoat” and denying his Bangladeshi citizenship.
“There is no documentary evidence to support the claim that he is from Bangladesh,” Shikhane said.
Police reportedly detained and released five other individuals earlier in the week after CCTV footage captured the attacker leaving the scene.
