Two suspects detained over Saif Ali Khan stabbing case
Police have detained two people in connection with the stabbing of Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan at his residence in Mumbai.
The two people were reportedly arrested from Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
One of the suspects was taken into custody by Mumbai Police after arresting him in Madhya Pradesh.
He is currently being questioned.
Acting on leads, Mumbai Police collaborated with local authorities to secure the suspect's detention, sources told India Today.
In another operation, another person was detained from Chhattisgarh's Durg district.
He was identified as 31-year-old Aakash Kailash Kannojia.
Sources in the Railway Protection Force (RPF) told NDTV that the suspect was "caught from the Mumbai-Howrah Jnaneswari Express on the lead of the Mumbai Police.Around 2 pm, when the train reached Durg, the suspect - who was sitting in the general compartment - deboarded and was immediately taken into custody. He is being interrogated."
"The Mumbai Police had sent the suspect's photo, train number and location to the RPF, after which he was caught. He is currently in RPF's custody," they added.
Saif underwent a 2.5-hour plastic surgery and neurosurgery and is out of danger now, doctors at Lilavati Hospital said.
The 54-year-old's son from his previous marriage, Ibrahim Ali Khan, and a caretaker reportedly took the bleeding actor to hospital. He was stabbed at around 2:30 am on the night of the incident.
However, unfamiliar with the family’s automatic electric vehicle, Saif was taken to Lilavati Hospital in an auto-rickshaw.
The incident has raised questions about security measures in the building, as the police continue their investigation into the break-in.
