**Mumbai, India –** Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was attacked at his Bandra home in Mumbai around 2 am on Thursday. An unknown assailant broke into his residence and stabbed him, resulting in serious injuries. Khan underwent two surgeries at Lilavati Hospital and is now reportedly out of danger.
Police are investigating the incident. Initial reports suggest the attacker may have had inside knowledge, possibly through a connection with a staff member, as CCTV footage shows no one entering the house. Police are questioning workers involved in ongoing floor polishing work at the residence. A senior police official, Daya Nayak, known for his expertise in such cases, is leading the investigation.
Hospital officials stated that Khan’s surgeries, including neuro and plastic surgery, were successful. A 2.5-inch piece of knife blade was removed from near his spine. He sustained deep wounds and cuts in multiple places, including his left leg. While currently stable, he will remain under observation for at least 24 hours.
Khan’s team released a statement confirming the attempted burglary and subsequent attack. They appealed for patience and stated that the matter is under police investigation. Contradictory reports from different sources have circulated, with some claiming a minor hand injury. Police have detained three individuals who worked at Khan’s home for questioning. The police are also examining CCTV footage from the building and surrounding area.
The motive behind the attack remains unclear, and police are exploring all possible angles. While the incident occurred while his wife Kareena Kapoor was out celebrating with family and friends, it’s currently unknown if she was present at home at the time of the attack. The question of how the attacker gained entry into a supposedly secure residence is also under scrutiny.
