00:00All right, we're getting you up to speed with the very latest as far as the investigations

00:05in the Saif Ali Khan stabbing case is concerned.

00:08Let's take a look at these developments.

00:10We're telling you more about what has happened.

00:12The picture's on your screen right now.

00:16Saif Ali Khan is not going to be discharged today.

00:34Well, that's the story that we have for our viewers at this point in time.

00:39Speculation and we also picked up that he's recuperating well, that's what his sister

00:44Sohali Khan had said as well, that he's doing well and could be discharged soon.

00:49But right now, what we're learning is that he is not going to be discharged today.

00:53These are details we have with us at this point in time.

00:56However, the doctors have reiterated that Saif Ali Khan has been recuperating well after

01:01the incident involving an intruder in their house who stabbed him six times, leaving him

01:09grievously injured.

01:11Saif, however, will not be discharged today from the hospital, from Leelavati Hospital

01:17where he is recuperating, which also continues to see family and friends, in fact, flocking

01:24to the hospital to meet the actor who had been grievously injured in this incident involving

01:31the intruder in his home.

01:35Mustafa has more details on that.

01:37Mustafa, any specific reason why that he will not be discharged today?

01:47Sorry, can you repeat the question?

01:49I was asking you because there was some paramount speculation that he could be discharged today,

01:53but now you're telling us that Saif is not going to get discharged today from the hospital.

01:59Well, see, what we are hearing from the doctors is that Saif is recovering, but at the same

02:07time there is some rest which is needed and the doctors might have advised the family

02:11that it's in the hospital that he would get professional care and good rest and hence

02:16his stay at the hospital must have been increased for a day or two and doctors are continuously

02:24It is said that soon he will be discharged.

02:27It is true that there is nothing due to his health which keeps him at the hospital, but

02:32at the same time good rest is something which he would want and at the same time you can

02:37say that the police is investigating this case and in a day or two the police might

02:41have to take the accused to the house back to recreate the entire scene of crime, which

02:46is very important part of the investigation.

02:49So these may be the things because of which Saif Khan's discharge may have been delayed

02:53from the hospital, but it has been delayed for a day or two and soon he will be discharged

02:58back to you.

02:59He's going to be discharged maybe soon, but not today.

03:02Bhavna also getting in more detail.

03:04She's at the Leelavati Hospital where Saif is recuperating.

03:07Friends, family members continue to flock to the hospital to meet him.

03:11However, doctors say that he needs further observation and hence will not be discharged,

03:15Bhavna.

03:17That's correct Neha.

03:19We just spoke to Dr Nitin Dange who has been keeping us updated on this case and he just

03:25confirmed to us a couple of minutes back that Saif is not getting discharged today.

03:30The entire idea is to have him rest at the hospital itself so that they can observe him

03:36for another one or two days before they actually discharge him.

03:41It was said earlier in the morning as well that they had a discussion with the family

03:46and the doctors and they thought that it would be better if he is kept at the hospital for

03:51another one or two days for observation and that is why it has been decided that Saif

03:56will not be discharged today.

03:58Earlier of course we were all hoping to see that he would get discharged this evening

04:03but that is not happening and it has been confirmed by both the doctor and the COO of

04:09Niravati Hospital.

04:11I also want to ask you Bhavna, what else are you picking up as far as him getting back

04:16to normal life is concerned?

04:18How soon will all of that take given the nature of the injuries, given that he has been operated

04:23upon, that will also take a while.

04:25I understand that this was one of Saif's concern when he spoke with the doctors as well.

04:31Absolutely, from what we can understand at the moment, another two weeks is what we are

04:38looking at before Saif can actually get back to, I mean his entire routine can get back

04:43to normalcy because as it was said earlier that a minimum of one week or two weeks of

04:48bed rest is strongly advised to Saif Ali Khan.

04:52So even if he is discharged day tomorrow or day after, even then he has to be on bed rest

04:58for another one week.

04:59So from what we can understand at the moment is that it will take him a bit before he can

05:06actually, before he can actually get going with his routine, with his normal routine.

05:12But remember that he is doing well, he is recuperating well.

05:17The CEO had confirmed that he is, there is a lot of improvement in his health.

05:22He is of course walking and talking as well.

05:24We just had Saif Ali Khan who visited, who had just arrived at the hospital to visit

05:29him.

05:30Earlier in the morning we had Sharmila Tagore and Kareena will soon arrive as well.

05:33So yes, the family is in and out by his side during this peaceful time.

05:38Well, absolutely.

05:39Bhavna, also to give us a sense of the statement that has been recorded as far as Kareena Kapoor

05:44Khan is concerned.

05:45She has spoken to the police.

05:46Who else have recorded their statements before the police investigating this matter very closely?

05:53At the moment from what we have gathered is that Kareena is the only family member who

05:58has recorded her statement with the police.

06:01Saif is expected to record his statement in the next two or three days once he is discharged.

06:07But we have no confirmation so far on that end.

06:10Apart from that of course the staff was taking to the police station as we saw visuals the

06:16other day, right.

06:17So they have of course said what they had to to the police.

06:20But from the family members it's only Kareena so far that we are aware who has recorded

06:25her statement.

06:27Doctors essentially have said that Saif is recuperating but he can't be discharged today

06:32is what we are picking up.

06:33Bhavna getting us up to speed with those details.

06:36We will also be going across to Omkar, Babla in a moment from now.

06:39But Mustafa is at the Bandra station where the accused in this case is also getting grilled.

06:45Mustafa, I want to ask you that you all had told us about the fact that the accused also

06:49could be taken to the residence of Saif Ali Khan to recreate the crime scene and put together

06:54the dots and join the dots and put together the sequence of events.

06:58When do you think that is happening?

07:05Well, it's true that this creation of crime scene is important and because it's important

07:11for the accused to be taken to Saif Ali Khan's house, prior notice will be given by the police

07:16to the Khan family so that they can make the necessary arrangements.

07:21And because this crime which has taken place, it has taken place at around 2 am.

07:25So this seems to be the time around which the police will take him because they will

07:30be able to get the things next to what happened correctly.

07:35If he is taken in the daytime, there will be a lot of media present.

07:40They will not be able to exactly gauge as to how he was able to enter and how he was

07:47able to exit without anyone being intercepted.

07:50This is, crime recreation is an important part for which they would take time in a day

07:55or two.

07:56It seems that it will be done at the house of Saif Ali Khan.

07:58Back to you.

07:59Right, Mustafa Shaikh getting us up to speed with those details.

08:02Doctors have said that he will not be discharged today.

08:05The accused is getting questioned here and there could be in fact a recreation of the

08:11crime as well and the accused could be taken to Saif and Kareena's house is what we are

08:16learning.
