Saif Ali Khan has finally been discharged from the hospital. On Wednesday, the actor walked out of the Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai and returned home, six days after he was brutally attacked by a robber at his residence.
Saif Ali Khan was stabbed by an intruder at his Mumbai residence in the wee hours of January 16. It was reported that at around 2 AM, the actor heard noises when one of his female employees was attacked in Jeh’s room. This prompted Saif to intervene, which led to an altercation between the two and the attacker injured both Saif and the female employee. The Bollywood star was stabbed six times by the robber following which he was rushed to the hospital.
Following the incident, police stepped into action and arrested the alleged accused. He has been identified as a 30-year-old Bangladeshi named Shariful Islam Shehzad Mohammad Rohilla Amin Fakir, who changed his name to Vijay Das in India. Fakir was arrested from Thane, three days after the violent attack.
“After he was nabbed by police, Fakir told police that his name was Vijay Das and he was a resident of Kolkata. He, however, failed to provide any document to support his claim. He disclosed his true name and Bangladeshi nationality during interrogation,” a police official told the news agency PTI recently.
“He called his brother and asked him to send his school living certificate. His brother sent it (the certificate) on Fakir’s mobile phone. This document is strong evidence to prove he is a Bangladeshi national,” the official added.
