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.

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan received a warm welcome as he arrived at his Bandra residence after being discharged from Mumbai`s Lilavati Hospital. The actor was admitted following a stabbing attack by an intruder last week.

According to the police, the accused had illegally entered India by crossing the Dawki River around seven months ago. After entering India, he had initially stayed in Bengal for a few weeks. He had even used the Aadhaar card of a local man to procure a SIM card before moving to Mumbai in search of a job.

Saif Ali Khan was stabbed repeatedly by the intruder, Shariful Islam Shehzad Mohammad Rohilla Amin Fakir alias Vijay Das (30), inside his 12-floor apartment in the wee hours of January 16. The actor suffered multiple stab injuries in the attack and underwent emergency surgery.

Saif Ali Khan, who sustained six stab wounds during the burglary attempt at his residence, beefed up his security shortly after getting discharged from the hospital.
