A new image of the man who allegedly stabbed Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan during a robbery attempt at his Mumbai residence has surfaced, intensifying the manhunt to arrest him. The latest photo, which shows the intruder wearing a yellow shirt, adds to the growing collection of footage from the scene. However, it remains unclear whether the image was taken before or after the attack.
This marks the fourth visual that has emerged since the attack on Khan inside his apartment at the 'Satguru Sharan' building, a 12-story complex in Bandra where the actor lives with his wife, actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, and their children, Taimur and Jeh.

In earlier footage, the intruder was seen entering the building, taking the stairs to reach Khan’s floor and later fleeing the scene. Initially, the man was seen wearing a black t-shirt. A day after the incident, new CCTV footage showed the attacker in a blue shirt, carrying a backpack with his hands folded. The most recent photo shows him in a yellow t-shirt.
Khan, 54, was attacked in the early hours of Thursday and suffered multiple stab wounds, including injuries to his neck and near his spine. Following the brutal assault, the actor was rushed to Lilavati Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery. Doctors reported that Khan, who was previously in the ICU, is recovering well. He is now able to walk and is on a normal diet.
Dr. Nitin Dange, a neurosurgeon at Lilavati Hospital, stated that the actor's recovery is progressing as expected. "We are observing his progress, and he is doing excellently well according to our expectations. As per his progress, we have advised him bed rest, and if he is comfortable, then in two to three days we will discharge him," said Dr. Dange.
Khan suffered three injuries—two on his hand and one on the right side of his neck. The most brutal injury was on his back, near the spine. Doctors successfully removed the sharp object lodged in his back and repaired the spinal injury.
Meanwhile, the police have formed over 30 teams to track down the attacker and have launched an extensive manhunt. The intruder stabbed Khan during a burglary attempt at the actor’s apartment, located on the 12th floor of the Satguru Sharan building.
