What happened at Saif Ali Khan’s home
An intruder entered Saif Ali Khan's house and first argued with the actor's house help. When Khan intervened, he was attacked with a sharp object looking like a knife. Saif sustained six stab wounds caused by a sharp-edged weapon, believed to be a knife. He sustained an injury to his neck, left wrist, and chest, and a small portion of the knife got stuck to his spinal cord hence a neurosurgical intervention was required.
Family statement
A statement issued by the actor's family said, "There was an attempted burglary at Mr Saif Ali Khan’s residence. He is currently in hospital undergoing surgery. We request the media and fans to be patient. It is a police matter. We will keep you updated on the situation."
