Fri Jan 17 16:38:39 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 in Mumbai. The attack, which occurred around 2:30 am, involved a physical altercation during what police believe was a robbery attempt.

Khan’s public relations team confirmed the incident, stating he was undergoing surgery at Lilavati Hospital and requesting privacy. While initially reported as a burglary attempt, a staff nurse’s statement to police indicated the intruder demanded ₹1 crore (approximately $120,000 USD). The attack reportedly lasted approximately 30 minutes, and Khan’s young son, Jehangir, was present in the home. A house-help also suffered minor injuries during the confrontation.

Police confirmed that the intruder, described as a man aged between 35 and 40, escaped the 12th-floor apartment and that CCTV footage has been obtained. While a carpenter who had worked at Khan’s flat two days prior was briefly questioned, police later clarified that he was not a suspect. Despite initial reports suggesting a suspect was detained, Mumbai police have stated that no arrests have been made, and investigations are ongoing, involving over 30 teams. They have released CCTV footage of a suspect leaving the building and are focusing on a possible escape route via the Bandra railway station and the Vasai Virar area. Sniffer dogs were also deployed at the scene.

Khan’s son Ibrahim postponed filming for his movie until his father’s return home. Doctors have reported that while Khan sustained six stab wounds, including injuries to his spine, neck, and hands, he is out of danger and is expected to be discharged in two to three days after being moved from the ICU. The incident has sparked widespread shock and concern, with many Bollywood celebrities and political figures expressing their support and well wishes for Khan’s recovery. Maharashtra’s Home Minister has stated that no underworld gang is involved and the motive appears to be theft. The investigation continues.
