Saif Ali Khan's recovery stopped, Doctor provides health update

• Saif Ali Khan, a Bollywood actor, was stabbed in a stabbing incident in Mumbai.
• Hospital officials confirmed that Saif will remain in the hospital for now.
• Mumbai Police apprehended the accused, 30-year-old Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, in Thane.

The stabbing incident involving Saif Ali Khan has raised significant concern, especially among his family. On Sunday, his sister Soha Ali Khan assured the public that Saif is recovering well. While earlier reports suggested he might be discharged today, recent updates from his doctors confirmed that the actor will remain in the hospital for now. The doctor also mentioned that Saif's family will release an official statement regarding his condition.

Hospital officials have confirmed that Saif Ali Khan will not be discharged today. Dr. Neeraj Uttamani, who is managing Saif's treatment, told the portal, "No, Saif will not be discharged today. We will provide further updates within half an hour, and the family will also release a statement. He is doing well."

A purported health insurance claim document of an actor recently surfaced online, suggesting his expected discharge date as January 21. However, sources said that Saif could be discharged as early as January 20 if his vitals remain stable.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Police apprehended the accused, 30-year-old Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, a Bangladesh resident, in Thane on Sunday. The police presented him in a metropolitan magistrate's court later that day.

The proceedings took a dramatic turn as two lawyers competed for the opportunity to represent the accused. Ultimately, the court granted five-day police custody to Shehzad and noted that the possibility of an international conspiracy could not be ruled out.

The auto driver who rushed Saif to the hospital the night of the attack spoke to ABP News, recalling the terrifying incident. As he drove through the upscale Bandra area, he initially heard a woman scream for help and assumed it was just a routine dispute.

However, the driver only realized the seriousness of the situation when the actor himself walked toward his vehicle. He confirmed that Saif was accompanied by his son, Taimur, and described the actor’s condition, noting that his white kurta was soaked in blood, and he had a neck injury.

When asked about Taimur’s reaction, the driver shared that the child remained perfectly calm, engaging in conversation without showing any fear.

Earlier, in her statement to the Mumbai Police, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan's wife, described the attacker as 'very aggressive' and revealed that he stabbed Saif multiple times without attempting to steal anything.

She further stated that Saif stepped in to protect the women and successfully prevented the attacker from reaching their son, Jeh.
