Saif Ali Khan stabbing incident: Security tightened at the actor’s Bandra residence
Following the shocking stabbing incident involving Saif Ali Khan at his Bandra home, security measures have been significantly increased at the actor’s residence. Before his expected discharge from Lilavati Hospital today, additional precautions are being implemented, including sealing the AC duct areas on the 12th floor of the building where Saif lives with Kareena Kapoor and their sons, Jeh and Taimur, stated reports.
According to hospital officials, Saif is set to be discharged on January 21. The artiste underwent treatment for six stab wounds, two of which were near his spine. Doctors successfully removed a 2.5-inch blade fragment from his back and shifted him to the ICU post-surgery. While his condition has stabilised, doctors had advised him to rest for several days to ensure a full recovery.
The attack occurred in the early hours of January 16, when Saif attempted to fend off a burglar. The accused, identified as Mohammed Shehzad, a national-level wrestling champion from Bangladesh, was apprehended by Mumbai police in Thane.
Shehzad has reportedly claimed he was unaware of Saif’s identity, a statement corroborated by the rickshaw driver who transported the injured actor and his son Taimur to the hospital. The accused was presented before Bandra Court on January 19 and remains in police custody as investigations continue.
Saif’s family and fans are relieved by his recovery, while enhanced security measures aim to prevent such incidents in the future.
