**Mumbai, India –** A Bangladeshi national, Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, has been arrested for stabbing Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan at his Mumbai residence on January 16th. Shehzad, 30, illegally entered India seven months ago via Meghalaya, using a false identity as Bijoy Das. He spent several weeks in West Bengal, obtaining a SIM card using a local resident’s Aadhaar card, before moving to Mumbai in search of work.

Police apprehended Shehzad after a 70-hour manhunt, locating him near Hiranandani Estate in Thane. He has been remanded in police custody for five days.

Khan suffered six stab wounds during the incident, with a 2.5-inch piece of a broken knife removed from his spine during emergency surgery. Doctors reported that the knife narrowly missed causing more severe injuries. Khan was discharged from the hospital on Tuesday.

According to police, Shehzad, who claims he entered Khan’s apartment during a burglary attempt, stabbed the actor while trying to escape after being apprehended. Khan’s wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan, witnessed the attack, describing the assailant as aggressive. A nurse also present during the incident reported that Shehzad demanded Rs 1 crore (approximately $120,000 USD). Mumbai Police used CCTV footage and other investigative techniques to track down the suspect.
