Upon seeing Saif Ali Khan being rushed to the hospital shortly after the brutal attack, eight-year-old Taimur Ali Khan volunteered to accompany him. “Main bhi Papa ke saath jaaunga,” Saif recounted in his statement.
The 1600-page charge sheet filed by Bandra police in court sheds light on the chilling January 16 attack by a Bangladeshi intruder, clarifying several rumours that had spread on social media — including why Taimur was present at the hospital.
In his statement, Saif said that after being injured by the knife-wielding attacker, he, along with his family and household staff, rushed downstairs. His staffer Hari flagged down an auto-rickshaw to take him to the hospital. As they were leaving, Taimur insisted on joining them, and Saif agreed.
“On January 15, around 7.30 pm, I had dinner with my children. Kareena was out for work. After dinner, we watched TV and went to bed. My wife returned home around 1.30 am,” Saif told police.
“Around 2 am, caretaker Gita rushed into our bedroom and said someone was in Jeh Baba’s room with a knife, demanding money. We rushed there and saw a man in dark clothes holding a knife and hexa blade, standing close to Jeh. I asked him, ‘Kaun hain? Kya chahiye?’ He immediately started attacking me — stabbing me in the neck, back, hand, chest, and leg.”
“Gita tried to help but she was attacked too. Eventually, I pushed him down and we ran to the 12th floor, locking ourselves in a room. Kareena saw I was bleeding and said, ‘Sab building ke neeche chalo.’ At the gate, Taimur told her he wanted to come with me to the hospital. She asked him to come along.”
