According to a statement by the Mumbai Police, the suspect entered Saif’s residence at approximately 2:30 am and got into a heated argument with a member of the household staff. When Saif intervened to de-escalate the situation, the intruder attacked him, leaving the actor with six injuries. Among these, two were severe, with one dangerously close to his spine.
The assailant fled the scene immediately after the attack, prompting the authorities to launch a thorough investigation. A senior IPS officer confirmed that the Mumbai crime branch is conducting a parallel probe to track down the perpetrator. Meanwhile, the police have registered an FIR and are working to identify and apprehend the suspect.
Saif was rushed to Lilavati Hospital, where Dr. Niraj Uttamani, the hospital’s COO, revealed that the actor underwent surgery to address his injuries. “The extent of the damage will only be clear after the operation,” he said, adding that the actor’s condition is being closely monitored.
Kareena Kapoor Khan, visibly shaken, has remained by Saif’s side at the hospital. The couple’s two young sons, Taimur and Jeh, are reportedly safe and were not involved in the incident.
