"A medical miracle", says Sanjay Raut on Saif Ali Khan's recovery
Jan 22, 2025
New Delhi [India], January 22 : Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Wednesday said that actor Saif Ali Khan's recovery is nothing more than a medical miracle and wished him good luck for his health.
"Saif Ali Khan's recovery is a medical miracle. I wish him good luck for his health. He is a good artist of our country... No matter how deep the knife was lodged, he is alive and standing on his feet. I feel that the doctors of Lilavati Hospital have performed a miracle," said Sanjay Raut while speaking to ANI.
Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam pointed out and said that the gravity of the attack must be revealed. He added that Saif's family must come up and disclose details of the attack as an atmosphere now has been created that the law and order of Mumbai has collapsed and the centre and the state government have failed.
"Mumbai citizens and I had some innocent questions, that I have raised... Has the medical sector progressed so much that Saif Ali Khan comes to his home jumping and dancing (after the attack)... It should be revealed how deadly the attack was and how badly he was injured. The family should come forward and disclose this because, after this incident, such an atmosphere was created in Mumbai that the law and order of Mumbai has collapsed, the Home Ministry has failed, the Maharashtra government has been ruined, and every citizen in Mumbai is unsafe. The way Saif came out (of the hospital), it seems as if nothing happened four days ago... I want to ask the doctors, can a person whose operation lasted for six hours come out in such good shape within four days?..."
Actor Saif Ali Khan suffered stab wounds to his thoracic spine when an intruder, later identified as Mohd Shariful Islam Shehzad, a Bangladeshi national, entered his home with the alleged intent of theft last week.
The actor was immediately taken to Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital for treatment after sustaining injuries. Khan on Tuesday returned home after being discharged from the hospital.
Accused Mohammed Shariful Islam Shahzad was apprehended at Hiranandani Estate in Thane on Saturday while attempting to flee to his native village. It was further disclosed that the accused is a native of the Jhalokati district in Bangladesh. The Bandra Holiday Court remanded the accused to five days of police custody on Sunday.
