Police in the Indian city of Mumbai have arrested a man in connection with a knife attack on Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan last week.
Khan, one of India's biggest stars, was stabbed by an intruder in his home, in an attack that shocked the country. He is recovering from surgery.
On Sunday, police said they had arrested the main suspect, Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, adding that he was a Bangladeshi national residing illegally in India.
Mr Shehzad's lawyer denied the allegations and said he was not from Bangladesh.
Police said they arrested Mr. Shehzad from Thane, a district on the outskirts of Mumbai.
Preliminary evidence suggests that he came to the city about six months ago and worked in a domestic agency using a fake name and identity card, Dixit Gedam, deputy commissioner of police in Mumbai, told a news conference.
Police suspect Mr. Shehzad broke into Khan's home with the intention of robbing him, Mr. Gedam said.
On Sunday, a Mumbai court sent Mr. Shehzad to police custody for five days.
His lawyer Sandeep Shihane, told reporters that his client was made a “scapegoat”.
“There is no documentary evidence to suggest that he is a Bangladeshi national,” he said.
The attack on Khan made national headlines and raised questions about safety and security in Mumbai, one of India's most populous cities and its financial capital.
Khan was stabbed six times and suffered several injuries, including one to the back of his head, in the attack at his home in an upscale neighborhood.
A nurse, Eliama Philip, who works at Khan's home, told police last week that she first noticed the shadow of a man near the bathroom door late at night while she was in the child's room with the nanny.
Ms Philip said a man appeared, holding a wooden object in one hand and a long blade in the other, and warned the pair not to make any noise. He demanded 10 million rupiah ($115,477; £94,511), she said.
A fight broke out during which Mrs Phillip was injured. She also said that hearing the commotion, Khan and his wife rushed to the room and that the assailant stabbed the actor with a blade before fleeing.
Friday, investigators said detained – and later released – at least five more people for questioning in connection with the investigation.
Many of the men have been detained because they resemble the attacker, who was caught on CCTV leaving the building.
