Saif Ali Khan attacked during attempted robbery at Mumbai home; ‘out of danger’ after surgery

His wife actor Kareena Kapoor’s team confirmed that there was an attempted burglary at their residence during the early hours of Thursday. The statement said that the rest of the family, Kareena and their sons Taimur Ali Khan and Jeh Ali Khan, are doing fine. At the time of the incident, Kareena, Taimur and Jeh were inside the house. Saif tried to save his family from the attack and got injured during the scuffle. Saif’s older son, Ibrahim Ali Khan, brought him to the hospital.

Crime branch officials said the suspect was not captured in the CCTV footage of the lift or the lobby of the building, so it is is believed that the suspect entered the building through the back entrance of the building and climbed 12 flights of stairs. The officials believe that the suspect entered the apartment through the house help’s quarters and had an argument with them. The suspect was then locked in the children’s bedroom later but managed to flee.

The statement from Kareena’s team read, “There was an attempted burglary in Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan’s residence last night. Saif had an injury on his arm for which he is in the hospital, undergoing a procedure. The rest of the family is doing fine. We request media and fans to be patient and not speculate any further as the Police is already doing their due investigations. Thank you all for your concern.”

Dr Jalil Parkar of Lilavati Hospital told SCREEN that Saif was stabbed at his Bandra home and was admitted to the hospital at 3:30 am. “Saif Ali Khan was stabbed by an unidentified person at his Bandra home and was brought in at 3:30 am.
