A 1,600-page chargesheet filed by Bandra Police has revealed disturbing details of the January 16 home invasion at the Bandra residence of Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan, in which Saif sustained serious injuries.
According to the chargesheet, Shariful Islam, a Bangladeshi national, broke into their home around 2 am and entered their younger son Jehangir’s room, armed with a knife and demanding money.
Kareena Kapoor’s Statement: Panic, Blood, and Bravery
The chargesheet includes Kareena Kapoor Khan’s official statement. She recounted how their nanny Junu ran into their room, screaming that a knife-wielding intruder was in Jeh’s room.
Saif Ali Khan immediately confronted the man, asking who he was and what he wanted. Kareena said that Saif held him down tightly, but was stabbed in the neck, back, and hands during the struggle. When nanny Geeta intervened to help Saif, she too was injured.

In the chaos, Kareena instructed Geeta to grab Jeh and flee. With their older son Taimur, the nanny, and Jeh, Kareena rushed to the 12th floor of their four-floor residence in Satguru Sharan building. Saif, bleeding heavily, later joined them.
Emergency Surgery at Lilavati Hospital
Kareena urged Saif to leave the attacker and prioritize their safety. Their staff members—Hari, Ramu, Ramesh, and Paswan—searched the house but couldn’t find the intruder.
Hari hailed an autorickshaw and took Saif and Taimur to Lilavati Hospital, where Saif underwent emergency surgery to remove a knife fragment lodged near his spine. He was discharged five days later.
Forensic Evidence and Bail Opposition
The Mumbai Police told the court that forensic analysis confirmed the knife fragment removed during surgery and another recovered from the crime scene matched the weapon found with the accused.
The chargesheet also details that the accused’s fingerprints were lifted from the scene, supporting the case against him. Police opposed the bail plea citing the severity of the attack, and the risk to the victims and public safety.
