The alleged prime suspect in the stabbing case of Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was detained by the Railway Protection Force (RPF) from the Durg railway station in Chhattisgarh, police sources told The Indian Express.
The suspect, a 31-year-old, has been detained in the Durg RPF office and the Mumbai police would be arriving soon to take him into custody.
According to police, he was in the general coach of the Shalimar Gyaneshwari Express train.
The detention comes two days after Khan was stabbed multiple times in his Mumbai apartment.
The police are also analysing their database of history-sheeter robbers to identify potential matches for the suspect, based on the description captured by CCTV at the Satguru Sharan building on St Terra Road, Bandra West, where Khan’s family lives.
Early Thursday morning, between 2 am and 2:30 am, a man believed to be in his early 30s snuck into Khan’s 11th-floor apartment, allegedly demanded Rs 1 crore, injured the family’s nanny, and later attacked Khan with a blade six times before escaping.
The Bandra police have registered a case of attempted robbery, causing grievous hurt with an intention of robbery, trespassing, and under other sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita.
