Eliyama Philip, a 56-year-old nurse employed by the Khan family, provided a harrowing account of the incident to the Bandra police. She described the intruder as a man in his late 30s, slim, with a dark complexion. Armed with a stick and a sharp blade, the man entered the bedroom where Saif Ali Khan’s 4-year-old son, Jeh, was sleeping.
The attacker demanded Rs 1 crore from Philip, threatening her with the blade. When she refused and resisted, he assaulted her, injuring her wrists and hand.
