Mumbai:
Kareena Kapoor Khan recalled the attack on actor and husband Saif Ali Khan at their Bandra residence during the early hours of Thursday, saying that she saw the intruder stab Mr Khan repeatedly. Ms Kapoor was recording her statement with the Bandra Police.
“The attacker was aggressive. I saw him attack Saif repeatedly…Our priority was to take Saif to the hospital,” she told the police.
The actor further mentioned that the attacker ran from the spot and did not take any valuables with him.
According to her, Mr Khan was trying to protect their children Taimur and Jehangir (also known as Jeh). When the attacker could not reach Jeh, he attacked Mr Khan multiple times, she said.
After the incident, Ms Kapoor went to her sister Karisma’s house. “After the attack, I was terrified, so Karisma took me to her house,” she said.
Mr Khan sustained serious injuries after he was stabbed six times by an intruder at his residence in Mumbai’s Bandra area on Thursday. The incident took place when the accused allegedly entered Mr Khan’s house on the 11th floor of the Satguru Sharan building for a burglary. Left bleeding after the attack, Mr Khan was rushed to a nearby hospital where he underwent surgery as his spinal fluid leaked out after shards of the attacker’s knife lodged into his spine.
Doctors at the Lilavati Hospital – where Mr Khan is undergoing treatment – said that Mr Khan is recovering well post-surgery. He is likely to be discharged in a couple of days, sources said.
A nurse caring for Jeh Eliyama Philips was the first one to encounter the intruder who stabbed Mr Khan. According to her, he demanded Rs 1 crore before Mr Khan intervened.
