Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has been discharged from Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital after five days of treatment and two surgeries following a brutal knife attack.
Clad in a white shirt and blue jeans, the 54-year-old actor was seen waving at the media and fans as he stepped out of the Lilavati Hospital, surrounded by security personnel.
Khan had sustained six injuries, including two deep stab wounds, in the break-in at his duplex residence on January 16, between 2 am and 2.30 am. He was taken to hospital in an auto-rickshaw, and underwent emergency surgery, including the removal of a knife blade lodged in his spine. Doctors had earlier said that Khan had also suffered injuries on his hand and neck.
Earlier in the day, police took the Bangladeshi national arrested in the case, Mohammed Shariful Islam alias Vijay Das, 30, to the actor’s residence in Bandra to re-create the crime scene and ascertain the sequence of events.
