Meanwhile, Saif’s wife, actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, shared critical details in her statement to Mumbai Police. She revealed that when the suspect attacked Saif, women and children in the house were sent to the 12th floor for safety. Saif attempted to protect his family during the incident.
Kareena mentioned that the suspect appeared to be targeting their younger son, Jeh (Jehangir). "The attacker was in Jehangir's room, and it seemed like he was about to harm him. Saif intervened to protect Jeh and turned to grab a sword for self-defense, but the attacker stabbed him multiple times with a knife," Kareena stated.
