The case has been adjourned till July 21. Earlier in January this year, the actor was stabbed multiple times in an attempt to fight off a burglar during the wee hours of Thursday.

Saif was woken up by the commotion in his son Jeh's room. He went inside the room to see the culprit arguing with their house help, looking at this, Saif intervened to save the house help with his bare hands to fight off the intruder.
