Fri Jan 17 15:24:30 UTC 2025: ## Bollywood Actor Saif Ali Khan Stabbed in Home Invasion

**Mumbai, India** – Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan underwent emergency surgery early Thursday morning after being stabbed multiple times by an intruder at his Bandra residence. The attack, which occurred around 2:30 am, involved a physical altercation during an apparent burglary attempt. Khan’s public relations team confirmed the incident, stating he is currently recovering in Lilavati Hospital and requesting privacy.

Police sources report that the intruder, described as being between 35 and 40 years old, gained entry to the 12th-floor apartment and confronted Khan, who was reportedly protecting family members and staff. The assailant, armed with a knife and possibly a stick, demanded ₹1 crore (approximately $120,000 USD) before fleeing. A member of the household staff also sustained minor injuries during the struggle.

While initial reports suggested a suspect was detained, Mumbai Police clarified that no arrests have been made, though a man who had worked as a carpenter at Khan’s apartment days earlier was questioned and released. The police are investigating multiple leads, including CCTV footage showing the suspect changing clothes after the attack, and have formed over 30 teams to apprehend him. They believe he may be a hardened criminal with a history of crimes and may have fled via a local train. The investigation is ongoing, with police exploring various motives, including robbery.

Khan’s son Ibrahim Ali Khan postponed filming for his upcoming project, and the actor’s family and colleagues have expressed concern and wished him a speedy recovery. While initially listed in critical condition, doctors now report Khan is out of danger and is expected to be discharged in two to three days. The incident has sparked widespread shock and concern across the Bollywood community and among the public, highlighting security concerns for celebrities in the city.
