"Sheer failure of Home Minister and govt": Maharashtra Congress' Atul Patil after attack on Saif Ali Khan

Nagpur: Following the attack on Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan, Maharashtra Congress chief spokesperson Atul Londhe Patil on Thursday criticized the state government's handling of the situation, calling the law and order in Maharashtra a "complete collapse."
Speaking to ANI, Patil called for the Home Ministry to be entrusted to an independent and competent minister if the Chief Minister is too busy to manage it effectively.
"The law and order situation in Maharashtra has completely collapsed. There is pressure from the government on the administration. There is political interference...This is a sheer failure of the Home Minister and the government. Political interference should stop immediately. If the Chief Minister is very busy then the Home Ministry should be given to an independent competent minister," the Congress leader said.
Meanwhile, the attack on Saif Ali Khan took place at the 'Satguru Sharan' building, where he resides. According to police reports, the intruder initially had a confrontation with Khan's maid. As the actor intervened to defuse the situation, the intruder became aggressive, resulting in a scuffle.
Mumbai Police have launched an investigation into the attack. Deputy Commissioner of Police Dixit Gedam commented, "The actor and the intruder had a scuffle. The actor is injured and is being treated. The investigation is ongoing."
Dr Niraj Uttamani, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Lilavati Hospital, said that Saif was brought to the hospital at 3 am on Thursday and suffered six wounds.
"Saif Ali Khan was attacked by an unidentified person at his house. He was brought in at 3:00 am by the caretaker. He has six wounds from sharp objects like knives etc., of which two wounds are deep and one close to his spine. A small piece of foreign body close to the spine is identified," the COO said.
"The extent of the damage will be understood once the surgery is completed," Lilavati Hospital added.
A message from Saif Ali Khan's PR team confirmed the incident, describing it as an attempted burglary.
