Police have recovered a piece of a broken knife from Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan's house during the probe of Thursday's attack on him by an intruder, an official said on Saturday night.

Police in the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh on Saturday detained a second person suspected of involvement in a knife attack in which Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was wounded.

A part of the knife used for the attack in Saif Ali Khan's stabbing case has been recovered from actor's Bandra residence, the Mumbai Police informed on Saturday.

MUMBAI, India (AP) — Indian Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan was stabbed in a scuffle with an intruder at his home early Thursday and underwent surgery at a hospital, media reports said.

Doctors say Saif Ali Khan is recovering well after being stabbed multiple times by a burglar who broke into his Mumbai home.

Actor Saif Ali Khan sustained a serious injury to his spine while trying to protect his family from the intruder.

Two days after Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan was stabbed at his home during a robbery bid, a 31-year-old suspect was on Saturday detained from a train at Durg railway station in Chhattisgarh, officials said.

An assailant who stabbed Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan remains at large and nobody has yet been detained in the case, an Indian newspaper cited police as saying on Friday, contradicting earlier media reports that police were questioning a suspect.
