Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was hospitalised after suffering multiple stab wounds in a violent attack at his residence in Bandra (West) on Thursday.
According to local media reports the Bandra police said, an unidentified person broke into the actor’s 11th-floor flat, likely intending to commit a burglary. The intruder, however, was confronted by Khan, leading to a scuffle in which the actor was stabbed several times.
The attack took place between 2:00 AM and 2:30 AM when Khan woke up after hearing a disturbance in his home. The intruder reportedly attacked Khan with a knife, inflicting six stab wounds, one of which was dangerously close to his spine. Other family members of the actor were present at the time, and upon hearing the commotion, they rushed out to find Khan injured. They immediately took him to Lilavati Hospital for treatment.
A Bandra police spokesperson said,
“Upon hearing the disturbance, family members rushed out and found the actor had been stabbed. They quickly rushed him to Lilavati Hospital, where he is currently being treated. Doctors are working on his injuries, and he is under observation in the operation theatre.”
Saif Ali Khan, known for his roles in popular Bollywood films, is reportedly in stable condition. The doctors are focusing on treating the wounds, and the actor’s condition is said to be improving.
The police have launched an investigation into the incident. They are currently working to track down the intruder, who managed to flee the scene after the attack. Authorities have not yet identified the suspect but are following up on potential leads.
In a statement, the police assured that the investigation is ongoing, and further updates will be provided as more information comes to light. Meanwhile, Khan’s fans and the film industry have expressed concern and support, hoping for a quick recovery.
As of now, Khan’s family has requested privacy during this time, while the police continue to gather information to resolve the case.
