A man has been arrested over the stabbing of Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan in his Mumbai home. Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, a citizen of Bangladesh staying in India illegally, was taken into custody by police on Sunday. Preliminary evidence suggests he broke into Khan’s home six months ago with the intention of robbing him.
Khan was stabbed six times and suffered several injuries during the attack at his upscale neighborhood home. A nurse, Eliyama Philip, who works for Khan, reported a suspicious man with a wooden object and long blade to police, leading them to Shehzad’s doorstep.
Shehzad’s lawyer claims he is not from Bangladesh, but police suspect an intruder attempting to rob the actor. The court has ordered five days of police custody for Shehzad, sparking concerns about safety and security in Mumbai, India’s most populated city and financial capital.
