Saif Ali Khan was brutally stabbed and rushed to the hospital yesterday. Thankfully with everyone’s prayers, he is now out of danger though he suffered serious injuries. Saif lives in a posh area of Bandra. People are puzzled about how a robber managed to enter his highly secure residence and carry out the attack.
The police released a photo of the attacker, who fled using a local train. Investigators have traced his route to the Vasai-Virar area, and search operations are ongoing. A 2.5-inch piece of the knife used in the attack was removed from Saif’s spine during treatment. Strangely, the suspect was not caught on any CCTV cameras entering or leaving the gated community, raising questions about the security system.
During the attack, the accused was spotted in Saif’s younger son Jeh’s room by his nanny, Eliyama Philip, who was also injured. Saif was taken to the hospital by his son Ibrahim in an auto, leaving many surprised as Saif owns a garage full of luxury cars.
Currently, the police have formed 20 teams to catch the attacker. Political parties have started blaming each other over the incident. Reports suggest the accused demanded Rs 1 crore, though this hasn’t been officially confirmed. A suspect has been taken into custody, but further updates are awaited.
Meanwhile, the police have recorded statements from all household staff and Kareena Kapoor as part of their investigation.
