Saif Ali Khan hospitalized after being stabbed during robbery in Mumbai
An unidentified intruder attacked and stabbed Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan six times at his Bandra residence in Mumbai early Thursday morning.
The attack happened between 2 and 2.30 a.m. IST during an alleged burglary attempt (via Times of India). Khan suffered multiple injuries, including deep wounds near his spine and left wrist. His son Ibrahim and a caretaker rushed him to Lilavati Hospital for treatment.
Investigations revealed that the intruder may have entered the residence with help from a house staff member now under police questioning (via NDTV). The assailant reportedly confronted Khan’s maid before a violent scuffle broke out with the actor, which led to the stabbing.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Dixit Gedam stated that the intruder bypassed security. CCTV footage shows no one entering the premises two hours before the attack, suggesting the suspect was already inside.
Hospital officials revealed that doctors reportedly performed a 2.5-hour surgery on Khan, which included neurosurgical and plastic procedures. Dr. Niraj Uttamani, COO of Lilavati Hospital, confirmed Khan’s stable condition and noted that the medical team is closely monitoring his recovery (via BBC). The actor’s team reassured fans about his safety through a statement, emphasizing that all family members remain unharmed.
The police have classified the case as an attempted burglary and lodged an FIR against the intruder. They deployed multiple teams across Mumbai and surrounding areas to locate the suspect. Investigators are actively examining the motive behind the attack and identifying security lapses at Khan’s residence.
Khan’s family, including his wife Kareena Kapoor Khan, has urged fans not to speculate while the investigation is ongoing (via NDTV). The incident has left fans shocked, but Khan’s successful surgery and stable condition have brought relief to many.
