Days after Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was attacked at his Bandra home, sources with the Mumbai Police have said the actor’s statement was recorded late on Thursday night.
Sources also said that Saif Ali Khan gave full details of the incident to the police at his residence.
According to the details, Saif Ali Khan told the police that he held the attacker tight. However, his grip loosened after he stabbed him more than once.
“I held the assailant tight, but after he stabbed me again and again in my back, my grip loosened,” the actor told the police.
“Seeing all this, my family as well as the staff working in the house were scared,” the actor added.
On the night of the attack, Saif Ali Khan came out after hearing his younger son Jeh’s cries. As soon as he saw the assailant assaulting Jeh’s staff nurse Eliam Philip, Saif jumped on the accused and held him, the Mumbai Police sources said.
Earlier, the police had recorded the statement of actor and Saif Ali Khan’s wife Kareena Kapoor in connection with the stabbing incident.
Khan was stabbed multiple times in the wee hours of January 16 at his Bandra residence. Later, the police arrested Shariful Islam Shehzad Mohammad Rohilla Amin Fakir (30) alias Vijay Das, a Bangladesh national staying illegally in India, for the incident.
