Here are the latest developments so far:
What Doctors Say
Doctors at the hospital said the actor, who has been shifted out of the ICU, is recovering well. He is walking and is on a normal diet. They said Khan is expected to be discharged in two to three days.
"We are observing his progress, and he is doing excellently well according to our expectations. As per his progress, we have advised him to have bed rest, and if he is comfortable, then in two to three days we will discharge him," Dr. Nitin Dange, a neurosurgeon at Lilavati Hospital, had said on Friday, as quoted by PTI.
He said a team of doctors checked on him and made him walk.
Dr. Dange had said that Khan had three injuries, two on the hand and one on the right side of the neck. And the major part was at the back, which was in the spine.
Doctors have removed the sharp object from the back and repaired the spinal injury, he had said.
Saif’s Attacker Changed Clothes, Last Seen In Mumbai’s Bandra
The man who attacked Saif Ali Khan with a knife at his Mumbai residence early Thursday, January 16, was last spotted at Bandra station.
In this new picture, which is a screengrab from CCTV footage, the attacker can be seen in a different set of clothes than he was seen wearing in the earlier pictures, reported India Today.
An earlier visual of the attacker, a day after the incident, showed him wearing a blue shirt, as opposed to the black t-shirt he wore on the night he attacked the actor. Meanwhile, the attacker can be seen in a yellow t-shirt in the new picture.
Mumbai Police said that the attacker likely took a train from Bandra to move around Mumbai or to travel to another place. Multiple police teams are scanning CCTV footage from railway stations across the city to track down the suspect, as per the reports.
The police have formed more than 30 teams to track down and nab the attacker, who stabbed the film star in his 12th-floor apartment at the Satguru Sharan building during a robbery attempt.
