THIS hero was the attacker’s first choice before Saif Ali Khan

On January 14, the attacker first tried to enter Shah Rukh Khan’s famous residence, Mannat, after observing the area. However, tight security prevented him from entering. Sources confirmed that this attempt occurred before the attack on Saif Ali Khan.

Frustrated by his failure at Mannat, the attacker shifted his attention to Saif Ali Khan’s home in the ‘Satguru Sharan’ building. Due to weaker security at this location, he managed to reach the 12th floor where Saif lives. The attacker entered the room of Saif’s son, Jeh, and was caught hiding by a staff member. This led to a confrontation which alerted Saif.

Saif immediately rushed to the room and faced the attacker. The assailant then stabbed Saif six times with a sharp object. Saif was seriously injured, with a wound near his spine. Doctors later performed surgery to remove a 2.5-inch knife from his body at Lilavati Hospital.

The police detained the attacker and took him to Bandra Police Station. The man had targeted Saif’s family, which included Saif, his wife Kareena Kapoor and their two children. The attack left both Saif and the household staff injured.

After the incident, Saif’s son, Ibrahim Ali Khan, rushed him to the hospital. Doctors confirmed that the actor is now recovering and out of danger. The injury to his spine was severe requiring complex surgery for repair.
