Police in India’s financial capital of Mumbai have detained a key suspect in the knife attack on Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan, local media reports.
Khan, 54, was stabbed six times by an intruder during a burglary attempt at his home in an upscale neighbourhood of Mumbai in the early hours of Thursday.
He underwent surgery after sustaining stab wounds to his spine, neck and hands, and was out of danger, doctors said.
A person suspected of being the attacker was detained, TV channels reported on Friday, with visuals showing police escorting a man into a police station in Mumbai.
Dikshit Gedam, the police officer investigating the case, did not confirm the detention and told Reuters there was no major development in the case.
The attack on Khan, one of Bollywood’s most bankable and well-known actors, shocked the film industry and Mumbai residents, with many calling for better policing and security.
