He underwent a five-hour surgery at nearby Lilavati Hospital on Thursday and was shifted to the ICU later in the day. A piece of the knife was taken out of the actor's body.
On Sunday, police arrested the 30-year-old accused, identified as Shariful Islam Shehzad Mohammad Rohilla Amin Fakir, who changed his name to Vijay Das. Fakir was remanded in police custody for five days on Sunday. Police are likely to recreate the crime scene at Khan's residence with the accused, an official said on Sunday.
