Saif Ali Khan Attacked: Attacker Entered Jeh’s Room, Demanded Rs 1 Crore, Says Staff

A nurse employed by Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan provided a terrifying and detailed account to the Bandra Police about how a robber broke into the actor’s home and demanded Rs 1 crore before attacking her and Khan. In a chilling incident, an armed intruder entered Khan’s Bandra residence early on Thursday morning, injuring the actor, his staff, and his son’s nanny during a failed robbery attempt.

According to the First Information Report (FIR), the attack took place around 2 a.m. while the family and staff were asleep. Eliyama Philip, a 56-year-old nurse working at Khan’s residence, recounted the horrifying event, said a TOI report.

The intruder, described as a man in his late 30s with a slim build and dark complexion, entered the bedroom where Khan’s 4-year-old son, Jeh, was sleeping. Armed with a stick and a sharp blade, he initially demanded Rs 1 crore from Philip. When she resisted, the attacker assaulted her, causing injuries to her wrists and hand.

The noise from the struggle woke up the nanny, Junu, who raised an alarm, prompting Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan to rush to the scene. In an attempt to protect his family, Saif confronted the intruder but was injured in the process. He sustained cuts to his neck, shoulder, back, and wrist. Another staff member, Geeta, was also injured while trying to intervene.

The intruder fled before additional staff members arrived. The police have launched an investigation, treating the incident as a case of armed robbery and assault.

Sub-Inspector Suraj Irakte stated that the suspect is believed to be about 5’5″ tall, wearing dark clothing and a cap during the attack. The injured individuals, including Saif Ali Khan, are receiving medical treatment, and their condition is reported to be stable.
