**Bollywood Actor Saif Ali Khan Stabbing Leads to Arrest of Suspect**
**Mumbai police capture key suspect linked to Saif Ali Khan's shocking knife attack, raising security concerns.**
In a shocking incident that has captured national attention, police in Mumbai announced on Sunday the arrest of a man suspected of attacking Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan with a knife at his residence last week. The critically acclaimed actor, known for his contributions to Indian cinema, was the target of an assault while at home in an affluent neighborhood, drawing concerns over safety and security in the densely populated metropolis.
Authorities have detained Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, a Bangladeshi national reportedly residing in India without proper documentation. He was arrested in Thane, a suburb of Mumbai. According to Deputy Commissioner of Police Dixit Gedam, preliminary investigations suggest that Shehzad had been living in the city for approximately six months, allegedly under a false identity while working for a housekeeping service.
The lawyer representing Shehzad strongly refuted these claims, asserting that there is no substantial evidence linking his client to Bangladesh. Following the arrest, a local court ordered Shehzad to remain in police custody for five days as the investigation continues.
The attack unfolded when Khan was stabbed multiple times, leaving him with significant injuries, including one to his neck. An eyewitness, a nurse working in Khan's household, reported that she saw a shadowy figure in the home late at night, armed with a wooden object and a blade. During the assault, the attacker demanded a sum of 10 million rupees (approximately $115,000) before a struggle ensued, resulting in injuries to both the nurse and Khan.
The incident has raised alarms over the safety of public figures and residents alike, prompting discussions on the effectiveness of security measures in India's financial hub. Police revealed that they had previously detained other individuals for questioning related to the incident, some of whom bore a resemblance to the attacker as captured by surveillance cameras exiting the property.
