‘Saif
Ali
Khan
has
six
stabs
and
two
are
deep.
Of
these,
one
is
close
to
the
spine,’
Lilavati
Hospital’s
COO
Dr
Niraj
Uttamani
said
in
a
statement,
giving
an
update
about
the
actor’s
medical
condition
after
he
was
attacked
in
the
early
hours
of
Thursday.
‘He
is
being
operated
upon
by
a
team
of
doctors,
led
by
neurosurgeon
Dr
Nitin
Dange,
cosmetic
surgeon
Dr
Leena
Jain
and
anaesthesiologist
Dr
Nisha
Gandhi,’
Dr
Uttamani
said.
‘The
surgery
is
still
going
on.
He
sustained
six
injuries,
two
are
minor,
two
intermediate
and
two
deep
injuries.
One
of
the
injuries
is
on
the
back
which
is
close
to
the
spine.
A
neurosurgeon
is
involved
in
the
surgery,’
Dr
Uttamani
added.
‘The
wrist
wound
is
also
deep.
It’s
on
the
left
hand
and
requires
a
plastic
surgeon
to
repair
it,’
he
said.
A
police
officer
said
that
as
per
initial
information,
an
unidentified
person
entered
Saif’s
house
and
they
had
a
scuffle.
Reacting
to
the
incident,
Ram
Kadam,
spokesperson
for
the
ruling
Bharatiya
Janata
Party,
said
the
police
will
not
spare
the
guilty.
Clyde
Crasto,
spokesperson
for
the
Opposition
Nationalist
Congress
Party
(Sharad
Pawar),
said
the
attack
on
Saif
was
a
cause
for
concern
because
if
high-profile
people
with
security
can
be
attacked
in
their
homes,
what
would
happen
to
common
citizens?
Congress
spokesperson
Atul
Londhe
criticised
the
Maharashtra
government
over
the
‘failure’
of
law
and
order.
‘If
celebrity
homes
are
attacked
and
they
need
to
put
bullet-proof
windows,
what
will
be
condition
of
ordinary
citizens?’
asked
Londhe.
