The actor suffered stab wounds to his thoracic spine when an intruder, later identified as Mohd Shariful Islam Shehzad, entered his home with the alleged intent of theft last week.
Saif, attempting to intervene, was attacked, leading to a violent confrontation. The actor was immediately taken to Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital for treatment after sustaining major injuries.
The auto-rickshaw driver, who rushed the actor to the hospital, had shared details of what happened and how he stepped in to help.
Speaking to ANI, the driver said he saw a woman trying to hire an auto-rickshaw at 2 am on Thursday.
“I drive my vehicle at night. It was around 2-3 a.m. when I saw a woman trying to hire an auto, but nobody stopped. I also heard calls for a rickshaw from inside the gate. I took a U-turn and stopped my vehicle near the gate. A man covered in blood came out, along with 2-4 others. They put him in the auto and decided to go to Lilavati Hospital. I dropped them there, and later I came to know that he was Saif Ali Khan. I saw him bleeding from his neck and back,” Rana had told ANI.
Police formed teams to probe the crime and a case was registered under various sections of Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS).
The accused was apprehended at Hiranandani Estate in Thane while attempting to flee to his native village. The police said he hails from the Jhalokati district in Bangladesh.
Saif underwent surgery to treat serious injuries, including the removal of a 2.5-inch-long blade.
The accused was taken to different locations by the Mumbai police as part of the investigation to recreate the crime scene.
