In a shocking incident, a burglary was reported at the Mumbai house of Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan in the early hours of Thursday, leaving the actor hospitalised with multiple stab injuries. As per a report in HT, the intruder barged into his Bandra home at 2:30 am and inflicted knife wounds on his neck, near his spine, and four other places on his body.
The same report also stated that the Devara actor was attacked with a knife when he attempted to protect and shield his domestic help from the intruder.
Meanwhile, news agency ANI quoted a Mumbai police source, stating, “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.”
