Actor Saif Ali Khan is recovering after being stabbed during an alleged burglary attempt at his residence early this morning. The incident occurred at the ‘Satguru Sharan’ building, where the actor lives with his family. Mr. Khan confronted the intruder, leading to a violent altercation that left him with six stab wounds, two of which were deep, and one dangerously close to his spine. He was immediately rushed to Lilavati Hospital, where he underwent a two-hour surgery. Doctors have confirmed that he is out of danger and is currently recovering in the VIP suite.
Initial investigations suggested unauthorized entry into the actor’s home, but CCTV footage from the two hours preceding the attack showed no signs of external intrusion. Authorities now suspect that the assailant may have been hiding inside the building. This revelation has intensified the probe, with seven teams formed to track the suspect. Three teams are combing through Mumbai’s neighborhoods, while others are analyzing CCTV footage. The Mumbai Police crime branch is also on standby for operations outside the city, should new leads emerge.
The attack has shocked the film industry and triggered political criticism of Mumbai’s law and order situation. Security has been tightened around the building, and sniffer dogs have been deployed to assist the investigation. Mr. Khan’s team issued a statement assuring fans that he is stable, while requesting patience and privacy during this time.
