Mumbai Shocker! Saif attacked

Mumbai/Jaipur: Saif Ali Khan, a renowned Bollywood actor, was attacked in the early hours of Thursday while in his Bandra apartment. The assailant, believed to have been attempting a robbery, entered through a fire escape and assaulted the actor, leaving him with multiple stab wounds. The attack occurred at the actor's residence, located on the 12th floor of a building in Bandra West at 2:30 am. The actor was rushed to the Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai for treatment. During a surgery, the doctors have removed a 2.5 inch piece of knife from his spine. The actor also sustained injuries on his neck and hand. The actor's wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and other family members were reportedly present at the time of the incident, though they were not physically harmed.

POLICE INVESTIGATE ROBBERY ATTEMPT

The police have registered a case of armed robbery and attempted murder, with an investigation underway. The initial probe suggests the intruder may have planned to rob the Khans’ apartment but was thwarted by the confrontation with Saif Ali Khan. Sub-Inspector Suraj Irakte of the Bandra Police stated that the attacker did not force his way into flat but likely sneaked in through the fire exit at some point during the night, reviewing CCTV for further clues.

SAIF ALI’S ALLEGED ATTACKER CAPTURED ON CCTV; ENTERED FLAT VIA FIRE ESCAPE

According to police, the attacker likely entered building with the intention to rob Saif Ali Khan's apartment. He gained access to the building by scaling a wall next to the compound and using the rear stairs to access the floor where the Khans' apartment is located. The intruder then entered the flat via the fire escape. Police has released CCTV images of the suspect, showing him running down the building's stairwell at 2:33 am.

INTRUDER DEMANDED `1 CRORE

The first person to spot the intruder was Eliyama Phillipes, a nurse employed at Saif Ali Khan’s residence. Upon noticing attacker, she screamed, alerting the household. Saif Ali Khan confronted the intruder, attempting to defend Kareena Kapoor, Taimur and Jeh. The intruder then stabbed Khan multiple times. In an account shared with police, Eliyama described how assailant, armed with a sharp blade and a stick, initially demanded `1 crore from her. When she resisted, he assaulted her, causing injuries to her wrists and hands.

SON TAKES BLEEDING SAIF TO HOSP IN AUTO

Saif Ali was rushed to Lilavati Hospital in an auto rickshaw by his son, Ibrahim, and a caretaker. “There are 6 injuries – 2 were superficial like a nail scratch while others were done by a sharp object,” said Dr Uttamani. Dr Dange, who led surgery, reported that actor sustained a major injury to the thoracic spinal cord due to a knife lodged in his spine.

A surgery was performed to remove the knife and repair leaking spinal fluid. Two other deep wounds on his left hand and one other on his neck were repaired by the plastic surgery team. —DR NITIN DANGE
