Saif Ali Khan Stabbing Case: It has been 48 hours since Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was stabbed by an unidentified intruder at his Bandra residence in Mumbai in the early hours of Thursday. Despite the efforts of more than 30 police teams, the attacker is still on the run.
The actor suffered multiple stab injuries, including in his neck, during the attack around 2am and underwent emergency surgery at Lilavati Hospital, where he was rushed in an autorickshaw.
The Mumbai Police had detained one person on Friday morning but released him hours later saying that he was not related to the Saif Ali Khan attack case. However, the man was taken into custody again at night for questioning.

Actor Kareena Kapoor Khan recorded her statement with Bandra Police, regarding the attack on her husband and actor, Mr Khan. The statement was recorded on Friday evening at her residence in the presence of police officers. The police have recorded over 30 statements in connection with the attack, including a carpenter who worked at Saif's place two days before the incident.
While a political squabble erupted over the incident in Maharashtra, state minister Yogesh Kadam said that there was no underworld gang behind the attack. "A suspect who has been detained in connection with the attack is not part of any gang. No gang has carried out this attack. The theft was the only motive behind the attack on the actor," he said.
The Mumbai Police said over 30 teams have been formed to track down the attacker, who stabbed Saif in his 12th-floor apartment during a robbery attempt.
CCTV camera footage captured intruder's face. The video showed the attacker, wearing a red scarf and carrying a backpack, scurrying down the stairs from the sixth floor of the 'Satguru Sharan' building, where Saif lives, around 2.30am.
"We are observing his progress, and he is doing excellently well according to our expectations. As per his progress, we have advised him bed rest, and if he is comfortable, then in two to three days, we will discharge him," news agency PTI quoted Dr Nitin Dange, a neurosurgeon at Lilavati Hospital, as saying.
During surgery, the doctors removed a 2.5-inch knife fragment lodged in the actor's spine. They noted that if the knife had gone just 2 mm deeper, it could have caused a severe injury.
