• The suspect is said to go by multiple aliases.
• Authorities revealed the suspect previously worked at a pub.

Mumbai Police have arrested a man suspected of being the prime accused in Saif Ali Khan’s stabbing case. The suspect, apprehended in Thane during the early hours of Sunday, is said to go by multiple aliases, including Vijay Das, Bijoy Das, and Mohammed Iliyas.

Authorities revealed the suspect previously worked at a pub and was described by Saif’s maid, Eliyamma Philips, as “skinny,” “dark complexioned,” “in his late 30s,” and “about five feet five inches tall.” Actor Kareena Kapoor described him as “very aggressive.” CCTV footage showed the suspect ascending the staircase of the building with his face covered and later exiting with his face exposed.

Additional footage captured him boarding a local train at Bandra station and buying earphones near Dadar station. Police confirmed the suspect will be presented in court today for remand.

The attack occurred early Thursday when the intruder confronted the maid. Saif, stepping in to intervene, sustained stab wounds to his thoracic spine. He underwent successful surgery at Lilavati Hospital to remove a 2.5-inch blade and has since been moved from the ICU to a regular room.

Saif’s family, including Kareena Kapoor, his children Ibrahim and Sara Ali Khan, and mother Sharmila Tagore, have been visiting him at the hospital. Doctors confirm the actor is stable and recovering well under close monitoring.
