Saif Ali Khan’s loved ones and adoring fans were left in a state of panic when the reports of him being brutally attacked in his own home broke. The horrifying details about the break-in and Saif’s injuries left the entire nation shocked. Reportedly, the actor suffered six stab wounds during his fight with the intruder, two of which were serious. Later, it was revealed that the stab wounds were so deep that a 2.5-inch part of the knife blade was still stuck in Saif’s spine when he arrived at the hospital. The piece had to be surgically removed, and recently, an image of the blade surfaced online.
Following Saif Ali Khan’s surgery, his doctors opened up about the injuries he had suffered. The actor sustained six wounds, and two of them were particularly deep, as the knife blade was lodged into his spine. As per a report by PTI, Dr Nitin Dange has stated that an emergency operation took place to remove the knife and to repair the leaking spinal fluid, while the other wounds were treated by the plastic surgery team. As per the doctor, the actor is stable now. Dr Dange said:
"As Saif Ali Khan is out of danger, doctors from the Lilavati Hospital have shared the details about the emergency operation that took place. As per a doctor, 2.5 inches of knife was removed from the actor's wounds, which was lodged in his spine and caused the leaking out of his spinal fluid. The actor sustained a total of six wounds, and two of them were major."
Now, an image of the knife blade extracted from Saif’s spine has surfaced online. The blade was placed in a medical tray and still had Saif’s blood on it. Another tray beside the first had a surgical cloth in it that was soaked red with blood.
However, the surfaced image does call into question the matter of patient confidentiality, as it seems someone from the hospital staff might have leaked the picture. For the unversed, the latest reports suggested that Saif was still unconscious and being monitored in the ICU. Thus, it is unlikely that he could have given consent for the picture to be shared online.
A day after Saif Ali Khan was stabbed at his Mumbai home, news broke that the police had detained a potential suspect. A video showing the suspect being taken into the Bandra police station went viral. However, not much was known about him, nor was there any certainty that he was the same suspect seen in the CCTV footage gathered from Saif’s building on the night of the incident. But, in a new statement, the authorities clarified that no one had been detained in the case involving the actor.

The update comes after the police entrusted 20 teams to investigate the case. One team was tasked with trying to collect information from police informers, while another was responsible for evaluating the technical evidence and so on. At this time, Bandra police have levied charges of attempted robbery, causing grievous hurt with the intention of robbery, trespassing, and more under other sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita.
After Saif Ali Khan’s surgery, Kareena Kapoor finally took to her Instagram handle to address the traumatising incident. She called it an incredibly challenging day for her family, who are still trying to process the whole event. She even requested the media and paparazzi to refrain from making speculations. Kareena wrote:
