Share
Here’s a simplified version in paragraphs:
Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was stabbed by an unidentified intruder at his Bandra West home in Mumbai early on Thursday morning, January 16. The attack occurred around 2:30 am when Khan woke up to suspicious noises in his 11th-floor flat. After confronting the intruder, a violent scuffle broke out, during which Khan was stabbed six times. The intruder had first encountered the maid before Khan intervened and managed to flee the scene after the attack. The family alerted Bandra Police at 3:00 am.
Khan was rushed to Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital at 3:30 am, where doctors performed a 2.5-hour emergency surgery. Dr. Niraj Uttamani, COO of the hospital, confirmed that Khan had six stab wounds, including one near his spine and another on his arm that required plastic surgery. While his condition is stable, doctors are closely monitoring him, and further medical procedures might be needed.
The Bandra Police, along with the Mumbai Crime Branch, have launched a large-scale investigation into the incident. An FIR has been registered, and seven police teams are working to track the attacker. CCTV footage from the apartment complex is being reviewed to determine how the intruder gained access. The police are also questioning three attendants from Khan’s residence.
Search operations are ongoing across Mumbai and nearby areas to find the suspect. Khan’s family, while relieved that he is recovering, is deeply shaken by the incident. The investigation is continuing, and authorities are determined to bring the attacker to justice.
