The man who stabbed Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan - at his home in Mumbai's posh Bandra West neighbourhood early Thursday morning - demanded a ransom of Rs 1 crore, police sources told NDTV this evening, citing a statement by a member of Mr Khan's domestic staff. The staffer - a nurse caring for Mr Khan's four-year-old son Jehangir, said the knife-wielding attacker first entered the boy's room.
Three people - Saif Ali Khan, 54, the nurse, and another staffer - were injured in the attack that followed the demand. Mr Khan was stabbed six times, resulting in injuries to his spinal cord. He was rushed to the city's Lilavati Hospital - by his son Ibrahim in an auto-rickshaw after his car was delayed.
