In the early hours of Thursday, renowned Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was grievously injured during an alarming incident at his residence in Mumbai’s Bandra (West). Around 2:30 am, a mysterious intruder reportedly broke into the actor’s home and engaged in a confrontation that left Saif with serious stab wounds to his neck and near his spine. Dikshit Gedam, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Zone 9, Mumbai, confirmed that Saif was hurt during a scuffle with the unidentified individual. “The actor is injured and is being treated. An investigation is going on,” Gedam stated.
The clash seemingly erupted when the perpetrator attempted to access the room of Saif’s younger son, Jeh. One of Saif’s staff members, Ariyama Philip, also known as Lima, initially discovered the intruder and courageously confronted him. The actor rushed out upon hearing her scream, leading to the violent altercation between him and the assailant, during which both Lima and Khan sustained injuries from a sharp weapon.
Saif’s son, Ibrahim Ali Khan, acted swiftly, transporting his father to Lilavati Hospital. Here, he was treated for six injuries, including two severe ones, one perilously close to his spine. After undergoing multiple surgeries, Saif’s team announced that he is now out of danger. “Saif Ali Khan has come out of surgery and is out of danger. He is currently in recovery and the doctors are monitoring his progress. All family members are safe and the police are investigating the incident,” read the statement.
At the time of the incident, Saif’s wife, actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, and their sons, Taimur and Jeh, were present at their home.
