Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was stabbed five times – in his back, wrist, neck, shoulder, and elbow – during an attempted burglary at his home in Bandra West on January 16, according to a medical report released on Thursday.
The medical report from Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai, where the actor was admitted, revealed that the injuries ranged in size from 0.5 cm to 15 cm.
The report further detailed the timing of the attack at his residence in upscale Bandra West, which took place around 2:30 am.
The medical report sent to Bandra Police suggested that Khan was possibly brought to the hospital by his manager and close friend, Afsar Zaidi, who runs a celebrity management company. His home was just 10-15 minutes away from the hospital.
The two arrived at the hospital at 4:11 am, roughly an hour and 40 minutes after the attack. The hospital’s medical report indicated that Zaidi completed the admission formalities after bringing Khan to the hospital.
Doctors at the hospital had previously confirmed that Khan had sustained multiple stab wounds to his spine, neck, and hands. He underwent surgery to treat the injuries, and was later discharged from the hospital on Tuesday afternoon.
The police have arrested a suspect in connection with the attack on Sunday. The man, identified as Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, a Bangladesh national, was using the name Vijay Das.
Shariful Islam had been working for a housekeeping agency and had arrived in Mumbai five or six months ago, according to Mumbai Police.
The violent attack on Khan has shocked Mumbai residents, especially given that it happened in an upscale neighbourhood with strict security measures. Fellow Bollywood actors have also expressed their concern over the incident.
