The third piece of the knife used to attack actor Saif Ali Khan at his Bandra home on January 16 has been recovered, a police official said on Thursday. Khan was allegedly attacked by Shariful Islam Shehzad Mohammad Rohilla Amin Fakir (30), alias Vijay Das, a Bangladeshi national staying illegally in the country.

Meanwhile, the Mumbai police has deployed two constables in two shifts outside the Bandra residence of the actor.

"We have provided temporary police protection outside Khan's Satguru Sharan building in Bandra West. Two constables from Bandra police station will be posted there in two shifts. CCTV cameras and widow grills have also be installed as part of security," a police official said.

Meanwhile, the accused will be produced in court on Friday to seek extension of his police remand, the official added. He was remanded in five-day police custody on Sunday.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
