Khan, 54, was stabbed six times by an intruder during a burglary attempt at his home in an upscale neighbourhood of Mumbai in the early hours of Thursday. He was operated after sustaining stab wounds to his spine, neck and hands, and is out of danger, doctors said.

One person, suspected to be the attacker was detained, TV channels reported, with visuals showing police escorting a man into a police station in Mumbai.
