According to information, a thief broke into Saif Ali Khan’s house. A heated exchange and scuffle ensued between the actor and the thief, followed by Saif being stabbed. Currently, the actor is receiving treatment in Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital. Saif resides with his family in Bandra, Mumbai, on the 7th floor of his apartment building.

The police have yet to speak with the actor. During the attack, a female staff member at Saif's residence also sustained injuries.
The Biggest Question about the Attack on Saif
Mumbai Police revealed that no individual is visible entering in the CCTV footage from two hours prior to the incident. This has led the police to suspect that the assailant was already inside.

Initial investigations indicate that the burglar might have entered through this duct. The CCTV footage shows no stranger coming in, which suggests this attack was premeditated.
It should be noted that Saif Ali Khan was attacked in his children's room. The assailant struck him six times, resulting in two significant wounds; one near his spine and another on his neck. Saif is undergoing treatment at Lilavati Hospital. His children, Ibrahim and Sara Ali Khan, are at the hospital with him. Fans are continually praying for Saif's swift recovery.
