MUMBAI: The Bangladeshi national, arrested by Mumbai Police for allegedly stabbing actor Saif Ali Khan, had panicked upon seeing his image on news channels and was planning to flee to his native country, police officials said on Monday.
The accused, identified as Shariful Islam Shehzad Mohammad Rohilla Amin Fakir who changed his name to Vijay Das, was arrested on Sunday after an extensive examination of CCTV footage, which showed him riding a motorcycle on January 9, a week before the violent attack.
Khan was repeatedly stabbed by the intruder inside his upscale Bandra apartment last Thursday, necessitating surgery. PTI
