Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 20 (ANI): As Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan continues to recover after suffering multiple stab injuries during an alleged burglary attempt at his Bandra residence, Dr Nitin Dange of Lilavati Hospital shared a health update on Monday.
While speaking to the media, Dange informed that the actor will remain under observation for another day, and the decision on discharging him will be made in the next one to two days.
The attack took place when an intruder, later identified as Mohd Shariful Islam Shehzad, entered the actor’s home with the alleged intent of theft. Saif sustained stab wounds to his thoracic spine while attempting to intervene during a confrontation between the intruder and his housemaid.
During a press conference last week, Dange praised Saif’s courage, describing how the actor walked into the hospital “like a lion” despite being covered in “blood.”
“He had blood all over. But he walked in like a lion with his young child. He is a real hero. He is doing well currently. His parameters have improved. He is being shifted from the ICU to a special room. We will keep visitors in check. We want him to rest,” Dr. Dange said.
Meanwhile, according to the police, various investigation teams were formed to probe the case, and charges have been registered under sections 311, 312, 331(4), 331(6), and 331(7) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS).
The accused was apprehended at Hiranandani Estate in Thane while attempting to flee to his native village. It was revealed that he hails from the Jhalokati district in Bangladesh, according to the police.
The case was reported by Aleyamma Philip, a 56-year-old staff nurse. The incident occurred around 2:00 AM on January 16, during which Saif Ali Khan sustained serious injuries, including multiple stab wounds to his thoracic spine.
As per the hospital administration, Saif Ali Khan is recovering well and has been moved from the ICU to a regular room. The surgery, which involved removing a 2.5-inch-long blade, was successful. While the actor is now “out of danger,” medical staff are closely monitoring his condition.
At an event, Saif’s sister Soha Ali Khan shared an update on his health while speaking to the media. She said, “We are happy that he is recovering well, and we are very thankful. We feel very blessed and grateful that it wasn’t any worse. Thank you for all your wishes.” (ANI)
