Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan sustained multiple injuries after being stabbed during an attempted robbery at his Bandra (West) residence in Mumbai. The incident has raised serious questions about security and how the attacker managed to enter the premises.
Incident Overview
The stabbing occurred in the early hours of Thursday when Saif’s female employee, Ariyama Philip alias Lima, reportedly confronted an intruder attempting to enter the room of Saif’s younger son, Jeh. According to reports, the intruder attacked Lima with a sharp weapon. Hearing her screams, Saif rushed to intervene, leading to a physical altercation in which both the actor and his employee sustained injuries.
Saif’s elder son, Ibrahim Ali Khan, promptly transported him to Lilavati Hospital, where the actor underwent multiple surgeries for six injuries. Two of these wounds were severe, including one dangerously close to his spine. Fortunately, Saif is now out of danger, as confirmed by his medical team.
Statement from Saif’s Team
“Saif Ali Khan has come out of surgery and is out of danger. He is currently recovering, and doctors are closely monitoring his progress. All family members are safe, and the police are investigating the incident,” read an official statement issued by Saif’s team.
At the time of the attack, Saif’s wife, actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, and their two sons, Taimur and Jeh, were present in the house.
Police Investigation
Mumbai Police and Crime Branch officials are actively investigating the case. Multiple teams have been formed to track down the attacker, who fled the scene after the incident. Preliminary findings suggest the intruder may have gained access to the building hours before the attack and concealed himself inside the premises.
CCTV footage from the building reportedly shows no unauthorized entry, supporting the theory that the assailant might have hidden within the property before the confrontation. Law enforcement is currently conducting detailed searches in and around the residence for additional clues.
Family and Public Reaction
Following the attack, Kareena Kapoor Khan’s team issued a statement urging fans and media outlets to avoid speculation while the investigation unfolds. “The police are conducting a thorough inquiry, and we request everyone to remain patient during this time,” the statement read.
The incident has sparked widespread concern among fans and the general public about the security of high-profile residences in Mumbai.
Medical Update
Dr. Niraj Uttamani, Chief Operating Officer of Lilavati Hospital, confirmed that Saif was brought in with six stab wounds, two of which were deep and close to vital areas. Neurosurgeons successfully removed fragments of the weapon from his body. Saif will remain under observation to ensure a smooth recovery.
Speculations and Ongoing Investigation
Reports suggest the attacker may have specifically targeted Saif’s residence, raising suspicions about the involvement of someone familiar with the household. Police are interrogating staff and security personnel to piece together how the incident unfolded.
While no arrests have been made yet, investigators are optimistic about tracing the intruder with the help of forensic evidence and surveillance footage.
Conclusion
This shocking incident has brought attention to the importance of robust security measures, especially for high-profile individuals. Mumbai Police’s investigation is ongoing, and updates are expected in the coming days. Fans and well-wishers have expressed relief that Saif Ali Khan is recovering well and have extended their support to the family during this challenging time.
