attack on Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan

Khan was declared safe by Mumbai police. Senior police officer Dikshit Gedam told Reuters, “He is being treated… and is out of danger.”

Khan, 54, was stabbed in the wrist, neck, and spine, but his medical team agreed that he was “on the path to complete recovery,” they told reporters.

A knife that became lodged in his spine caused a serious lesion to his thoracic spinal cord. One of the surgeons operating on Khan, Nitin Dange, stated, “The surgery was done to remove the knife and repair the leaking spinal fluid.”

According to police and local media, Khan was attacked just after midnight when he attempted to prevent the intruder—who was thought to be a burglar—from entering his residence in the posh Bandra neighborhood. According to authorities, a female employee at the flat was also attacked and received medical attention.

Gedam informed reporters that police had located the offender and were searching for him. The defendant tried to get in through a fire escape. He remarked, “It looks like a robbery attempt.”

After the attack, the Pataudi family issued an official statement, according to Filmfare. “A break-in was attempted at the home of Mr. Saif Ali Khan. He is having surgery in the hospital right now. We ask for patience from the fans and media. Police are involved. We’ll keep you informed about developments.

“There was an attempted burglary in Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan’s residence last night,” the tabloid claims, quoting a statement released by Khan’s wife Kareena Kapoor’s staff. Saif is in the hospital getting treatment for an injury to his arm. The family as a whole is doing well. Since the police are already conducting their proper investigations, we ask the media and supporters to exercise patience and refrain from further speculating. I appreciate everyone’s concern.

According to Dr. Niraj Uttamani, chief operating officer of Lilavati Hospital, where the actor is receiving treatment, Khan was stabbed six times, with two of those wounds being deep. A tiny fragment of a foreign body had been found near the spine, he said.

According to hospital sources, the actor was given ten stitches to treat one of the serious wounds. His critical organs and spine were unaffected, though. Khan, according to the source, was stopping a robbery attempt.

Opposition politicians and movie stars want stricter security.

Actor and filmmaker Pooja Bhatt also called for increased police presence in the suburb, which is home to many in the film industry. “The city, and especially the queen of the suburbs, have never felt so unsafe before,” she said on the messaging app X, referring to the trendy neighborhood.

“If such high-profile people with … security can be attacked in their homes, what could happen to common citizens?” Clyde Crasto, spokesperson for the Nationalist Congress Party, led by Sharad Pawar, asked on the platform.
