The incident occurred at Saif’s residence on the 12th floor of a luxury building in Mumbai, where the actor sustained multiple injuries in a confrontation with the attacker.

According to police reports, a housemaid initially noticed a shadow near the bathroom and assumed it was Kareena Kapoor checking on their younger son Jeh.

Suspicious, she moved closer to investigate, only to be attacked by a man aged 35–40 wielding a sharp weapon.

The intruder threatened her to stay quiet and demanded Rs 1 crore.

During this altercation, a second housemaid entered and questioned the intruder, further escalating the situation.

Hearing the commotion, Saif Ali Khan reached the spot and confronted the assailant.

A scuffle ensued, during which the actor sustained injuries at six different points on his body.

Amid the fight, a sharp weapon broke and a fragment remained lodged in his body.

As there was no driver available at the time, Saif's family called his son Ibrahim Ali Khan for assistance.

Ibrahim and his sister Sara Ali Khan, who live on the 8th floor of the same building, rushed to help.

However, unfamiliarity with the family’s automatic electric vehicle forced them to take Saif to Lilavati Hospital in an auto-rickshaw.

The incident has raised questions about security measures in the building, as the police continue their investigation into the break-in.
