Thu Jan 16 18:57:41 UTC 2025: ## Bollywood Star Saif Ali Khan Stabbed in Mumbai Home Invasion

**Mumbai, India** – Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan is recovering in hospital after a pre-dawn stabbing at his Bandra home on Thursday. Police have launched an investigation into the attack, which they believe was related to a burglary attempt.

Mr. Khan, 54, a veteran actor with a prominent family background, sustained a major spinal cord injury, along with deep wounds to his arm and neck, according to doctors at Lilavati Hospital. He underwent surgery to remove a knife and repair leaking spinal fluid. He is reportedly in stable condition.

Police Deputy Commissioner Dixit Gedam stated that a suspect has been identified and is being sought. The intruder allegedly used a fire escape to gain access to the home.

The incident has sparked outrage and concern, with opposition politicians criticizing the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party’s handling of law and order in Mumbai. Member of Parliament Priyanka Chaturvedi questioned safety in the city, stating, “If celebrities are not safe then who in Mumbai is?” Filmmaker Pooja Bhatt echoed similar concerns, calling for increased police presence in Bandra.

This attack follows other high-profile incidents in the area, including a shooting outside Salman Khan’s home last July and the fatal shooting of former Maharashtra state minister Baba Siddique in October. Both incidents occurred in Bandra, known for its high concentration of Bollywood celebrities.

Mr. Khan’s representatives have issued a statement asking for patience while the police investigation continues.
