The attack occurred around 2:15 a.m. when a burglar entered the family’s residence and began attacking the house help.

Saif, who had been asleep, was alerted by the noise coming from his son Jeh’s room. Upon investigating, he found the intruder in a confrontation with the house help.

He attempted to intervene, trying to protect the staff member, and was stabbed six times in the process. Two of the wounds are reportedly serious as they are near his spine.

Kareena and other family members were at home when the incident took place, but they were unharmed.

The Mumbai Police have initiated an investigation and are reviewing CCTV footage to gather evidence. Three suspects have been detained and are currently being interrogated in connection with the attack.
