Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan was attacked by a stabber who entered his flat in Mumbai’s upscale Bandra area on January 16. The attacker, identified as Shariful Islam Shehzad Mohammad Rohilla Amin Fakir alias Vijay Das, stabbed Khan multiple times to free himself from the actor’s grip.
According to police officials, the accused was trying to steal from Khan’s flat when staff spotted him and alerted the actor. As a result, Saif held the attacker tightly, but he managed to stab him several times in his back to escape. The attack left Khan with multiple injuries, including one lodged in his spine.
Khan underwent emergency surgery at Lilavati Hospital and was later discharged after five days. Police found fingerprints of the accused at the crime scene, including the bathroom window where he entered and exited. The accused, who is a native of Bangladesh, had been living in Mumbai for over five months and worked as an odd jobber.
A court in Mumbai remanded the accused in police custody on Sunday, while Khan was discharged from the hospital two days later. The case remains under investigation, with police continuing to probe the motives behind the attack.
