The major update in Khan's case comes two days after the incident took place. On Jan 16, an unidentified intruder entered Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan's 12th-floor apartment in Bandra and subsequently attacked the actor during the scuffle after being caught by the house help.

The actor sustained major injuries after being stabbed six times with a knife. Hours after the attack, he underwent emergency surgery at the Lilavati Hospital and is currently under the doctor's observation.

The Mumbai Police have been extensively investigating the matter and have launched a manhunt by forming over 20 teams to nab the attacker. The Mumbai Police have recorded the statements of 30 people, including Kareena Kapoor Khan, and have already questioned several suspects in the case. However, no arrests have been made so far.

Several CCTV footages of the alleged attacker have been widely shared across the internet.
