Initial reports suggested that Khan’s elder son, Ibrahim Ali Khan, was the one who rushed him to the hospital. However, as reported by India Today in recent statements from Bhajan Singh Rana, the auto-rickshaw driver who transported the actor, indicate that it was actually Khan’s younger son, Taimur, who accompanied him. “I saw a man covered in blood come out with a small child. They decided to go to Lilavati, and I dropped them off there,” Rana explained, adding that he only later realized he had helped Saif Ali Khan.
