According to CCTV footage from Saif Ali Khan residence in Mumbai, no one entered the premises within two hours of the attack. This suggests that the attacker had already entered the building and was ready to strike. The 54-year-old actor was stabbed six times after a fight, and the attacker ran away. Police are looking through CCTV evidence to find the offender.
According to police sources, the attack happened at roughly 2:30 in the morning, and CCTV footage did not show anyone arriving after midnight. According to sources, police believe the attacker broke into the actor’s house earlier and took refuge there.
The high-profile attack in Bandra, home to many celebrities, has put the Mumbai Police Department on the back foot. “An unidentified person intruded in the residence of Actor Saif Ali Khan. The actor and the intruder had a scuffle. The actor is injured and is being treated. Investigation is going on,” police have said in a statement.
If even celebrities are not safe, the opposition has criticized the Devendra Fadnavis government in Maharashtra and questioned the state of law and order in the Maximum City.
Saif Ali Khan was stabbed six times; two of the wounds were deep, and one was close to his spine. He is undergoing surgery at Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai.
A statement from the actor’s crew asked the media and fans to be patient. “It’s a police matter. We will keep you updated on the situation.”
“What a shame that Mumbai sees another high-profile attempt on life,” Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi stated, criticizing the state government for Mumbai’s law and order situation. “the attack on Saif Ali Khan yet again raises questions on Mumbai Police and the Home Minister. This is after a series of incidents that show there is a deliberate attempt to undermine Mumbai by targeting big names.”
Ms. Chaturvedi also mentioned the firing outside of actor Salman Khan’s house and the incident that murdered veteran lawmaker Baba Siddique.
“After his horrifying murder, Baba Siddique ji’s family is still seeking justice. Salman Khan was made to live in a bulletproof home. Now it is Saif Ali Khan All in Bandra. A place with the highest concentration of celebrities, which is expected to have adequate security. If celebrities aren’t safe, who in Mumbai is? Ms. Chaturvedi wished Saif Ali Khan a quick recovery.
