A man believed to be a Bangladeshi national was arrested in India’s financial capital Mumbai on Sunday and is considered the prime suspect in the murder of Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan, police said.

Thursday’s attack on Khan, one of India’s most profitable stars, shocked the nation’s film industry and Mumbai residents, with many calling for better policing and security. His life is out of danger, the doctors said.

“Primary evidence suggests that the accused is a Bangladeshi national and has changed his name after entering India illegally,” Dixit Gedam, Deputy Commissioner of Police, told a press conference.

The suspect, arrested on the outskirts of Mumbai, used the name Vijay Das but is believed to be Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad and was working with a housekeeping agency after coming to the city five or six months ago, Gedam said.

The police will remand the suspect for further investigation, he added.

Old man stabbed in his own home

Khan (54) was stabbed six times by an intruder during an attempt to break into his house. He walked into the hospital in blood-soaked clothes, accompanied by his six-year-old son Taimur, and later underwent surgery for wounds to his back, neck and arms, doctors said.

Doctors said Friday that Khan is stable and out of danger after the surgery.

“If the knife had penetrated further, there would have been a spinal injury,” Niraj Uttamnani, one of the doctors who treated Khan, told reporters last week, adding that the actor escaped by a distance of just two millimeters.

Police in Mumbai detained the first key suspect in the attack on Friday, while police in the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh detained a second person on Saturday.

Khan is the son of former Indian cricket captain Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi and actress Sharmila Tagore and is one half of one of Bollywood’s most powerful couples. He and his wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan, have both starred in more than 60 films each, including several that they worked on together.

IN post on Instagram last week, Kapoor Khan urged the media and paparazzi to “refrain from relentless speculation and reporting”, saying the constant attention was overwhelming and posed a “significant risk to our security”.
