Mumbai police arrest suspect in attack on Bollywood star

Mumbai police have arrested a suspect in the attack on Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan. The actor was stabbed during a burglary at his home.

According to the police, the 30-year-old suspect is from neighboring Bangladesh and reportedly came to India about six months ago to work as a cleaner. He was apprehended in a suburb of Mumbai.

The 54-year-old Saif Ali Khan was stabbed on Thursday night when an intruder entered the bedroom of his 4-year-old son. The perpetrator demanded 10 million rupees, approximately 110,000 euros.

When Khan confronted the burglar, he was stabbed six times, including in the neck and near his spine. Khan underwent emergency surgery to remove part of the knife from a wound.

He is recovering. Saif Ali Khan is one of the biggest stars in the Indian film industry, with two children, Taimur (8) and 4-year-old Jeh, with popular actress Kareena Kapoor Khan.

The attack has caused a stir in India, as such violence is unusual in the upscale neighborhood where Khan resides. It is also unclear how the attacker entered his 11th-floor apartment.
