MUMBAI: Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan left a hospital in India’s financial capital Mumbai on Tuesday, less than a week after he suffered knife injuries in a scuffle with an intruder at his house, local media reported.
Khan, 54, was stabbed six times by the intruder during an attempted burglary at his home after midnight on Thursday. He had surgery after sustaining stab wounds to his spine, neck and hands, doctors said.
Khan was discharged from hospital on Tuesday afternoon. He smiled at TV cameras from his car and waved his bandaged hand.
On Sunday, police arrested a man, thought to be a citizen of Bangladesh, in connection with the attack and were continuing to investigate the crime.
The suspect, arrested on the outskirts of Mumbai, was using the name Vijay Das, but is believed to be Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, who was working with a housekeeping agency after having come to the city five or six months ago, Dikshit Gedam, a deputy commissioner of police, told a press conference.
The attack on Khan shocked residents of Mumbai as well as fellow Bollywood actors, especially because it took place in an upscale neighborhood of the city, in an apartment block that is strictly guarded.

Australia cancels visa of Israeli influencer
- His visa was canceled three hours before his flight departed from Israel
- “Spreading hatred is not a good reason to come,” Australia’s Home Affairs Minister said
SYDNEY: Australia has canceled the visa of an Israeli influencer who campaigns against Islam, saying it will not accept visitors who come to spread hatred.
Sammy Yahood, who has commented on social media that Islam is a “disgusting ideology,” said Monday his visa was canceled three hours before his flight departed from Israel.
Yahood flew to Abu Dhabi anyway, but was blocked from getting his connecting flight.
“This is a story about tyranny, censorship and control,” he posted on X.
Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said in a statement sent to AFP on Tuesday that people who want to visit Australia should apply for the right visa and come for the right reasons.
“Spreading hatred is not a good reason to come,” he said.
Australia tightened its hate crime laws this month in response to a December 14 mass shooting on a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach that killed 15 people.
Yahood’s visa was reportedly canceled under the same legislation that has been used in the past to reject people’s visas on hatred grounds.
The conservative Australian Jewish Association, which had invited the influencer to speak, said it “strongly condemned” the visa decision by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s government.
It criticized visa cancelations for other Jewish visitors, including far-right Israeli politician Simcha Rothman who was blocked last year.
“This latest cancelation reinforces deep concerns within the Jewish community that, despite the horror of the Bondi massacre and the government’s belated apology, the Albanese Government hasn’t changed and was never genuine,” the association’s chief executive Robert Gregory said in a statement.
