Mumbai Police detained the primary suspect behind the brutal attack on Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan on Friday morning. The incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday at Saif's Bandra residence, where the intruder stabbed the actor multiple times.

Saif was rushed to the hospital with the weapon still lodged in his spine and underwent surgery. Doctors report that his condition is now stable, but he remains under close observation.

According to a News18 report, the suspect initially targeted and recced superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s residence, Mannat. However, he was unable to gain entry due to the property's tight security. After his plan to infiltrate Mannat was thwarted, the accused shifted his focus to Saif Ali Khan’s building, Satguru Sharan, which reportedly had less stringent security.

The intruder successfully accessed the 12th floor of the building, where Saif lives with his family. He entered the room of Saif’s youngest son, Jehangir Ali Khan, but was discovered by a staff member. The situation escalated when the attacker, demanding 10 million Indian rupees, got into an argument with the staff.

Visitors are restricted to prevent infection.”

Dr. Niraj Uttamani, COO of Lilavati Hospital, said “I was the first to meet Saif Ali Khan when he came to the hospital. He was drenched in blood but he walked in like a lion with only his small kid, Taimur. Saif Ali Khan is a real hero...He is doing well. He has been shifted from ICU to a normal room...." He added, "I sat with him and he walked in like a lion. And only with his mother's side. He is a real hero that way. In films, it is okay to act like a hero. But in real life, you have to act like a hero. He is doing presently very well."
