A man thought to be a citizen of Bangladesh was arrested in India's financial capital Mumbai on Sunday and is considered the prime suspect in the stabbing of Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan, police said.

Mumbai Police arrested Shariful Islam Shehzad, a Bangladeshi national accused of stabbing actor Saif Ali Khan during a suspected burglary attempt. Shehzad was tracked down using CCTV footage and a Google Pay transaction he made for breakfast.

After an over 70-hour joint operation, Mumbai Police and the crime branch were able to catch the 30-year-old attacker who stabbed Saif Ali Khan at his home.
