Saif Ali Khan Health Update
Police have identified CCTV footage of the unknown assailant who attacked the actor with a knife in his Bandra residence in Mumbai during the early hours of Thursday. Ten investigative teams have been assigned to the case.
Initial investigations suggest that the attacker did not break into the actor’s flat on the 12th floor of Satguru Sharan building, but likely entered the premises earlier that night, according to police officials.
The assailant fled via the staircase after the attack at approximately 2.30 am. Surveillance cameras captured his movements on the sixth floor, police sources told news agency PTI.
Khan’s domestic help, who first alerted others, sustained a minor knife wound during the confrontation. She later visited the police station to report attempted murder and trespassing. The police have not confirmed which sections were included in the First Information Report.
A media statement from the actor’s team described the incident as a “burglary attempt.”
Medical staff at Lilavati Hospital, where Khan received treatment, confirmed he was stable following surgery to remove the knife from his back.
