Saif Ali Khan Stabbed in Late-Night Attack, Son Ibrahim Rushes Him to Hospital in Auto
Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan is undergoing treatment after sustaining six stab wounds in a late-night attack at his Bandra residence in Mumbai. The 54-year-old actor was rushed to Lilavati Hospital in an auto-rickshaw by his son, Ibrahim Ali Khan, after a car could not be arranged in time. Ibrahim, 23, who is also an actor, made the quick decision to transport his father to the hospital to ensure timely medical intervention.
A video recorded shortly after the incident shows Saif’s wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan, standing near the auto-rickshaw, visibly distressed and coordinating with house staff.
Details of the Attack
The attack occurred late on Monday night when an intruder allegedly entered Saif’s home. During a confrontation, Saif suffered multiple stab injuries, including one near his spine. Following emergency surgery, he is now stable, according to a statement from his team. The statement also confirmed that the rest of the family is safe.
Mumbai Police are treating the incident as an attempted burglary, although they have refrained from officially confirming a robbery angle. Sources indicate that the assailant may have gained access with the help of a house staff member. This individual is currently being questioned as authorities work to identify the attacker, who fled the scene after the stabbing.
CCTV Footage and Investigation
CCTV footage from Saif’s residence did not capture anyone entering the premises during the two hours before the attack, leading investigators to believe that the assailant may have gained entry earlier and waited for an opportunity to strike. Police are closely analyzing security footage to identify the attacker and uncover any potential accomplices.
The incident has sent shockwaves through Mumbai’s elite neighborhoods, with questions being raised about security even in the city’s poshest localities.
Industry Reactions and Political Implications
The attack has prompted widespread concern within the film industry. Actor Pooja Bhatt expressed her alarm, stating she had “never felt so unsafe” in Mumbai and called on Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to bolster police presence in Bandra.
Politically, the incident has sparked criticism from opposition parties, questioning the government’s ability to ensure safety for ordinary citizens if high-profile individuals are not secure.
Mumbai Police have intensified their investigation, focusing on potential insider involvement and the possibility of premeditation in the attack. Authorities have also assured the public of increased security measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
