Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was stabbed several times at his home in Mumbai early Thursday, shocking his fans and the film industry. The 54-year-old actor is now safe after having surgery at Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai, according to his team. Thankfully, his wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and their two children were not harmed during the incident.
Mumbai Police came to Saif’s apartment in Bandra West to investigate. One of the officers was Daya Nayak, a famous police officer known for taking down many gangsters in the 1990s.
About Daya Nayak
Daya Nayak grew up in a Konkani-speaking family in Udupi, a town in Karnataka. He was the youngest in his family and moved to Mumbai in 1979 to find work. His first job was at a hotel. While working, he studied hard and finished high school. Later, he graduated from CES College in Andheri.
Daya wanted to be a police officer. His dream started when he met some police officers while working as a plumber’s helper. In 1995, after finishing police training, he became a sub-inspector at Juhu police station, during a time when Mumbai’s crime rate was very high.
In December 1996, Daya gained fame after he shot two gangsters from the Chhota Rajan gang who attacked him in Juhu.
Controversies Surrounding Daya Nayak
Daya Nayak has faced criticism and was investigated for having more money than he should have. In 2004, a special court ordered an investigation into his wealth, and the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) found that he owned two luxury bus fleets: one in Mumbai and another in Karnataka. He was arrested but was reinstated as a police commissioner in 2012.
