Saif Ali Khan Stabbing Case: In a fresh development regarding the knife attack on Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan, the Lilavati Hospital’s medical report said that the actor was admitted at 4:11 am on Thursday (January 16), an hour and 41 minutes after he was stabbed multiple times at his residence in upscale Bandra West.
Interestingly, Saif Ali Khan’s house was just 10-15 minutes away from the hospital, but his report says the attack took place approximately at 2:30 am, but was brought to the hospital at 4:11 am.
The medical report submitted to Bandra Police mentioned that Saif was admitted by his manager and ‘friend’ Afsar Zaidi, which indicates that Zaidi may have been the one who brought him. The report lists Zaidi’s name and contact details in the ‘Friend’ section as the person who completed the admission formalities.
However, there have been conflicting reports on who brought Saif Ali Khan to the hospital. Earlier, during their interaction with the media, one of the doctors had mentioned that Saif arrived at the hospital in an auto-rickshaw with his 8-year-old son, Taimur Ali Khan.
Other reports claimed that Saif was rushed to Lilavati Hospital in an auto-rickshaw by his elder son Ibrahim Ali Khan. Reportedly, Ibrahim, 23, aided his bleeding father get onto the three-wheeler after the car was yet not ready to depart due to the unavailability of the driver at that time.
However, Saif’s manager later refuted these claims, clarifying that he was accompanied by house staff in an auto-rickshaw to the hospital.

Bhajan Singh Rana, the auto driver who drove Saif to the hospital, said he was bleeding profusely and was accompanied by “a small child and one more person was with him”. As Khan got into the vehicle, his first question was ‘Kitna time lagega? (How long will it take?)”.
Saif Ali Khan was stabbed by an intruder multiple times at his Satguru Sharan residence in Bandra in the wee hours of January 16. The medical report of Lilavati Hospital also said Saif sustained injuries in five places, including his back, wrist, neck, shoulder, and elbow and these wounds range from 0.5 cm to 15 cm in size.
It was earlier reported that doctors removed the sharp object that was lodged in the spine following a six-hour surgery. Saif recovered well and was shifted from the intensive care unit (ICU) on January 17 to a special room.
The actor has been discharged and is back home. He also met the driver before heading home, hugged him, and expressed his gratitude for his prompt action. Meanwhile, all eyes are now on Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad Fakir, a Bangladeshi national who is currently in police custody for allegedly attacking Saif.
