Police arrested a man in connection with the attack on Sunday
Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan left a hospital in India's financial capital, Mumbai, on Tuesday, less than a week after he suffered knife injuries in a scuffle with an intruder at his house, local media reported.
Khan, 54, was stabbed six times by the intruder during an attempted burglary at his home after midnight on Thursday. He had surgery after sustaining stab wounds to his spine, neck, and hands, doctors said.
Khan was discharged from the hospital on Tuesday afternoon. He smiled at TV cameras from his car and waved his bandaged hand.
On Sunday, police arrested a man, thought to be a citizen of Bangladesh, in connection with the attack and were continuing to investigate the crime.
The suspect, arrested on the outskirts of Mumbai, was using the name Vijay Das but is believed to be Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, who was working with a housekeeping agency after having come to the city five or six months ago, Dikshit Gedam, a deputy commissioner of police, told a press conference.
The attack on Khan shocked residents of Mumbai as well as fellow Bollywood actors, mainly because it took place in an upscale neighborhood of the city, in an apartment block that is strictly guarded.
