Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan was stabbed by an intruder at his Mumbai home early Thursday morning. The actor underwent surgery and is now reportedly recovering well. Police are investigating the incident and searching for the suspect.
New surveillance footage has emerged, purportedly showing the suspected attacker who violently stabbed Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan fleeing the actor's home in the moments after the assault. A clip shared by NDTV captures a man in the stairwell of the actor's residence at 2.33 am this morning, descending the stairs and at one point even looking directly at the camera. The man is dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, carrying a bag and what appears to be an orange scarf.
Police, leading a massive investigation into the attack, are yet to identify him. Authorities combed through footage outside the home amidst early reports claiming the Bollywood star had undergone emergency surgery after being stabbed in the spine by an intruder around 2.30 am this morning. At the time of the attack, Khan was at his family home in Mumbai, where he resides with his movie star wife Kareena Kapoor Khan, 44, and their two sons. \ A maid at the residence reported that the attacker first entered the room of Mr. Khan's youngest son, Jeh. When confronted, he allegedly demanded a sum of nearly £100,000. Khan, 54, was subsequently stabbed six times, suffering a deep injury near his spine, according to the Press Trust of India news agency. The actor reportedly had a fragment of the three-inch blade lodged in his back after it snapped off during the attack. Footage shows a man leaving the apartment via the stairs just minutes after the assault. Police have launched an investigation but haven't yet named a suspect. \Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan underwent surgery in hospital after being stabbed in the early hours of Thursday by an intruder who broke into his home. Harrowing new claims in local media suggest that the attacker allegedly demanded Rs 1 crore (approximately £100,000) during the home invasion. The actor was left with life-threatening injuries and was rushed to Lilavati Hospital by his son. He was found to have sustained 'severe injuries to the thoracic spinal cord due to a lodged knife in the spine', a spokesperson for the hospital said. 'Emergency surgery was performed to remove the knife and repair leaking spinal fluid.' 'Two other deep wounds on his left hand and one other on his neck were repaired by the plastic surgery team.' The hospital stated that Khan is now 'completely stable' and recovering 'well'. Police have launched an investigation, with at least eight teams mobilized to track down the suspect, who is still apparently at large. A second victim was also injured during the attack and was reportedly being treated. The victim, a female employee at Khan's home, had screamed to alert other family members at around 2 am, according to The Indian Express newspaper. Initial reports from Indian media suggested that a review of CCTV footage did not reveal a suspect in either the two lifts, the lobby, or entering the building within two hours of the attack. A senior police officer told The Indian Express newspaper that they suspect the accused may have used the building shaft to enter the 12th floor apartment. A statement from Mumbai Police said: 'An unknown person entered Actor Saif Ali Khan's residence and argued with his maid late last night. 'When the actor tried to intervene and pacify the man, he attacked Saif Ali Khan and injured him. 'Police are investigating the matter.' Kapoor Khan said in a statement that the family were fine and requested 'the media and fans to be patient and not speculate any further as the police are already doing their due investigations.' \Khan, who is also a movie producer, has been featured in about 70 films and television series. He is the son of former Indian cricket captain Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi and Bollywood actress Sharmila Tagore. He has won multiple awards for his roles in Hindi cinema, including seven Filmfare Awards. In 2010, he received the Padma Shri, the fourth highest Indian civilian award.
