According to an NDTV report, the missing knife piece, which was used by the attacker on the January 16 attack, was found in a trench near the Bandra lake, adding a crucial detail to the ongoing investigation.

Mumbai Police on Sunday arrested the attacker, identified as Bangladeshi national Shareeful Islam Shehzad Mohammad Rohilla Amin Fakir, for stabbing Khan at his Bandra apartment on January 16 during a burglary bid.

A variety of materials, including mobile phones, clothes of the accused, and CCTV footage seized following the arrest of Fakir (30) alias Vijay Das, have been sent to the FSL for examination.

Shariful, a 30-year-old Bangladeshi national who entered India illegally last year under the alias Vijay Das, allegedly attacked Khan while he was attempting to protect his young son, Jeh, during an attempted robbery at his home. The actor was reportedly stabbed as he tried to defend his child from the intruder.
