Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan’s stabbing incident has shocked the entire film fraternity and raised serious concerns about safety and security in Mumbai. The 54-year-old actor was attacked by an intruder at his Bandra residence, sustaining multiple stab wounds. Police investigations reveal startling details about how the assailant managed to enter the actor’s home and even reached the children’s bedroom.
How Did the Intruder Gain Entry into Saif’s House?
According to the Mumbai Police, the intruder gained access to Saif Ali Khan’s house with the help of a domestic staff member.
An officer involved in the investigation stated, “The intruder was allowed entry into Saif Ali Khan’s house by a domestic help. There is no clarity on what happened next to lead the help to raise an alarm and Khan being attacked. We are probing it.”
Sources suggest that the domestic help is being questioned to uncover the events leading to the attack. Seven police teams have been deployed to work on the case, with the Mumbai Crime Branch conducting a parallel investigation.
Attack in the Children’s Bedroom
Reports indicate that the intruder entered the children’s room at around 2 a.m., allegedly using a duct that allowed direct access into the house. It remains unclear what transpired after the intruder’s entry. The attacker was reportedly locked in one of the rooms, but he managed to escape before police arrived.
Police teams are now analyzing CCTV footage from the area to identify the attacker.
“We have some leads and should be able to nab him soon,” said a police spokesperson.
