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.

In the latest development in the Saif Ali Khan stabbing case, the accused Shariful Islam has confessed to the crime. The accused has confessed to attacking Saif Ali Khan during interrogation, as per police sources.

Shariful, originally from Bangladesh, moved to India seeking better job opportunities due to the political unrest in his home country. His father explained that the primary reason for his move was to escape instability and secure a better livelihood.

Shariful Fakir's father claims his son was wrongfully arrested for allegedly stabbing actor Saif Ali Khan during a burglary in Mumbai. He argues Shariful doesn't match the CCTV footage and believes his illegal entry into India makes him an easy target.

Mumbai Police has obtained two identity documents confirming the nationality of the actor Saif Ali Khan's alleged assailant, Sariful Islam, media reports said.

Saif Ali Khan, who was hospitalised after getting stabbed by an intruder, is back home. He returned home with a bandage around his wrist and neck. Now, a statement made by a Maharashtra Minister about attack on Saif has shocked all.

Saif Ali Khan was attacked in his 12th-floor apartment in the upscale Bandra area during an attempted robbery.
