Saif's attacker was trying to flee when police arrested him
According to the police, the suspect was attempting to flee to his native village when he was detained at Hiranandani Estate in Thane. Police suspect that the man is not Indian and is a Bangladeshi national since he has been unable to provide legal Indian documents as citizenship proof.
“He entered the duct area, climbed to the 12th floor using a pipe and entered the actor's flat through a bathroom window. He then came out from the bathroom, where the actor's staff spotted him, leading to the chain of events that culminated into the knife attack,” a police official was quoted as saying in Indian media.
Saif Ali Khan is currently recovering in Lilavati hospital where he was treated for multiple stab wounds.
