Actor Saif Ali Khan was released on Tuesday afternoon after being operated on at Lilavati Hospital after being stabbed last week, according to sources close to the actor who spoke to HT.
When the actor left the hospital for his Bandra home, he was escorted by his wife, actor Kareena Kapoor. The actor Saif was hospitalised for five days following an emergency surgery. According to doctors, the actor is safe and on the mend.
An intruder stabbed 54-year-old Saif Ali Khan several times on Thursday morning. The actor, his wife Kareena Kapoor, and their two children reside at the Bandra home where the attack occurred. The actor was hospitalised to Lilavati Hospital after arriving there at three in the morning on Thursday.
He was moved to the intensive care unit later that day after undergoing a five-hour operation at the neighbouring Lilavati Hospital on Thursday. The actor had a bit of the knife removed from his flesh. Two of Saif’s six injuries from the attack were severe cuts.
When he arrived to Lilavati Hospital on Thursday, doctors reported that he was leaking spinal fluid. But he was lucky to have avoided any serious injuries. The 30-year-old suspect, Shariful Islam Shehzad Mohammad Rohilla Amin Fakir, who changed his identity to Vijay Das, was taken into custody by police on Sunday.
On Sunday, Fakir was placed under five days of police prison remand. According to an official on Sunday, police would probably recreate the crime scene at Khan’s home with the defendant.
According to the authorities, he intended to commit burglary when he entered the residential building. According to the accused, he didn’t know who Saif was and merely targeted the residence because he believed it belonged to a wealthy person.
