He suffered two deep injuries and one near the spine. Khan was taken to Lilavati Hospital for surgery. Doctors said his condition is stable.

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-SP) chief Sharad Pawar criticised Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, saying, "This is a worrying sign of deteriorating law and order in Mumbai. Recently, a murder occurred in the same area, and now this. The government, particularly the chief minister, needs to take this matter seriously as he holds the home department portfolio."
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut also expressed concerns, saying, "Saif is a renowned actor and a Padma Shri awardee. Yesterday, Prime Minister Modi was in the city, and most of the police force was deployed for his security. The common man and even public figures are left vulnerable. Currently, 90% of the police force is being used for politicians."
