Saif Ali Khan Stabbed: What EXACTLY happened on the night of attack?

Saif Ali Khan was at his ‘Satguru Sharan’ apartment in Mumbai’s Bandra when a burglar attempted to enter the Khan-Kapoor household on the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday.

As per the preliminary probe, the intruder did not force his entry or break into the actor’s 12th-floor flat in Satguru Sharan building, but possibly sneaked in at some point earlier in the night, the Mumbai Police said.

Media reports stated that Saif Ali Khan’s house help, Elyimma Philips alias Lima, who was present at their home spotted the burglar and attempted to stop the perpetrator from entering. A scuffle broke out following which she reportedly sustained injuries to her hand.

Saif Ali Khan Stabbed: Attacker demanded ₹1 crore

According to statements recorded by the Mumbai police, Saif Ali Khan’s house help noticed a shadow near the bathroom.

Initially she thought it was Kareena Kapoor checking on their younger son, but then she grew suspicious and moved closer to investigate. Suddenly, a man aged between 35 to 40 attacked her, threatening her with a sharp weapon and ordering her to stay quiet.

A second housemaid arrived during the altercation. When they asked him what he wanted, he said ₹1 crore.

This is when Saif Ali Khan heard the screams and came out of his room. He reportedly tried to de-escalate the scuffle, when the burglar stabbed the Bollywood actor multiple times.

Saif Ali Khan sustained six stab wounds on his neck, hands, and on his spine at 2.30 am.

After the incident, which took place around 2:30 a.m., the attacker took the staircase to escape. Police sources said his CCTV visuals were traced on the sixth floor.

Saif Ali Khan was taken to the hospital by his son Ibrahim Ali Khan. The duo rushed to the Lilavati Hospital in an autorickshaw. Dr Niraj Uttamani, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Lilavati Hospital said that the duo arrived to the medical facility at 3.30 am.

Since there was no driver at home at that hour, he was brought in an auto rickshaw, said the Mumbai Police.

According to India Today report quoting Mumbai Police, the family swiftly called his son Ibrahim Ali Khan for help. Ibrahim, along with his sister Sara Ali Khan—both residing on the 8th floor—hurried upstairs. None of them knew how to operate the family’s automatic electric vehicle, and so they rushed Saif to Lilavati Hospital in an auto-rickshaw.

Where was Kareena Kapoor?

According to Instagram updates, Saif Ali Kahn’s wife Kareena Kapoor Khan was meeting her sister Karisma Kapoor, and Anil Kapoor’s daughters Sonam Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor.

However, it is unclear if Kareena Kapoor was at the Bandra home when the attack happened. A video released later showed the visibly shocked Bollywood actor talking to security personnel at their Bandra building.

Saif Ali Khan was tended to by a team of five doctors at Lilavati Hospital and has reportedly been shifted to the ICU for further care. His industry friends, Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand, were seen arriving at the hospital on Thursday.

Saif Ali Khan’s attacker knew one of the house helps

The man who attacked actor Saif Ali Khan is known to one of the domestic workers at his Bandra residence, the police said on Thursday, adding that she was being questioned for more details.

Saif Ali Khan’s house help, who raised the initial alarm, later visited the Bandra police station to lodge a complaint for alleged attempted murder and trespassing.
