Speaking to news agency ANI, Sanjay Nirupam said, “Mumbai citizens and I had some innocent questions, that I have raised… Has the medical sector progressed so much that Saif Ali Khan comes to his home jumping and dancing (after the attack).

He said Khan’s family should disclose “how deadly the attack was and how badly he was injured.” He added the incident has created an atmosphere of unsafety in Mumbai.
“It should be revealed how deadly the attack was and how badly he was injured. The family should come forward and disclose this because, after this incident, such an atmosphere was created in Mumbai that the law and order of Mumbai has collapsed, the Home Ministry has failed, the Maharashtra government has been ruined, and every citizen in Mumbai is unsafe,” he told news agency ANI.
The Shiv Sena leader questioned the quick improvement in the actor’s health which deteriorated after multiple stabbings in the early hours of January 16.
“The way Saif came out (of the hospital), it seems as if nothing happened 4 days ago…,” he said.
He wondered if a person with such serioud injury can recover this fast. “I want to ask the doctors, can a person whose operation lasted for 6 hours come out in such good shape within 4 days?…” he further said.
