Post the stabbing, Saif Ali Khan was rushed to the hospital. He had to undergo emergency surgeries and was discharged five days later.

Since the case invited intense media scrutiny and involved a high-profile person, the police launched a massive manhunt, analyzing CCTV footage and digital footprints. A breakthrough came when “the accused made a UPI payment via Google Pay to purchase a paratha and a bottle of water.” This payment led the police to the guy who was apparently hiding in a labour camp in Thane.
