Suspect in Saif Ali Khan stabbing arrested by Mumbai police

Mumbai Police have arrested a suspect accused of attacking renowned Indian actor Saif Ali Khan.

According to Indian media reports, the suspect was taken into custody a day after the actor was stabbed at his home in Mumbai.

The suspect was arrested this morning and brought to the Bandra police station. However, the police have not yet disclosed much information about him. The arrival of an encounter specialist at Saif's house has caused a stir.

Media reports suggest that the police are still not confirming whether this is the same person who broke into Saif Ali Khan's house the previous day. The suspect has been shifted to the Bandra police station for further questioning.

There were rumours that the attacker entered Saif's son's room and demanded Rs. 1 crore. However, the police have clarified that this was a theft case. The actor suffered multiple stab wounds, including a deep cut to the chest and spine.

Earlier, Bollywood superstar Saif Ali Khan was stabbed six times by an intruder in his Mumbai home early Thursday morning. Following a surgery at Lelavati Hospital in Mumbai, many of his close friends and family rushed to be by his side.

Saif's wife Kareena Kapoor's cousin Ranbir Kapoor and his wife Alia Bhatt arrived at Lilavati Hospital to offer support.

Along with them, Karisma Kapoor, Saif's sister-in-law, also visited the hospital. Saif's children from his previous marriage, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan were spotted at the hospital, keeping in close proximity with their father.

Director Siddharth Anand also arrived at the hospital in the morning.

While Saif's surgery was a success, he is still under observation, with doctors closely monitoring his recovery. Saif's fans and well-wishers have flooded social media with messages wishing him a speedy recovery.

His son, Ibrahim Ali Khan, stepped up in a life-or-death situation to get his father the help he urgently needed.

Ibrahim realised that there was no car available to transport his injured father to the hospital. Showing a very smart presence of mind, he immediately hailed an auto rickshaw and got his father to Lilavati Hospital, just two kilometres from their Bandra house.
