The attack occurred around 2 a.m. when an intruder entered Khan's home, initially targeting his son Jeh's room. The assailant demanded a ransom of Rs 1 crore from Khan's domestic staff. Upon hearing the commotion, Khan intervened, leading to a scuffle where he was stabbed six times, including a 2.5 inch deep wound near his spine and another on his neck.
