Last Updated: January 17, 2025, 11:46 IST
This comes a day after an accused was also caught on the CCTV camera of Saif’s building, leading the Mumbai police to enhance their investigation.
Following the attack on actor Saif Ali Khan at his Mumbai home, authorities have made an arrest in connection with the incident. The police apprehended an individual on Friday morning, with additional details regarding the case still forthcoming.
The arrest coincided with the discovery of the suspect on surveillance footage from Saif’s building, prompting an escalation in the police’s investigative efforts. Reports indicate that two laborers engaged in maintenance work on the premises are also being questioned. This initial line of inquiry aims to determine if anyone with knowledge of the building may have facilitated the intruder’s access.
Authorities believe that the assailant had extensive knowledge of the property. The intruder reportedly navigated through a staircase and shaft to reach Saif’s residence and is suspected to have exited through a rear exit that evaded capture by security cameras. This detail has led investigators to suspect that the individual had prior familiarity with the layout of the building.
Details of the Incident at Saif Ali Khan’s Residence
In the early hours of January 16, Saif Ali Khan was violently attacked by an intruder in his home. The incident unfolded around 2 AM when the actor heard commotion stemming from one of the rooms occupied by his female employee. Upon intervention, Saif engaged in a confrontation with the assailant, resulting in injuries to both himself and the employee. Reports indicate that Saif sustained six stab wounds during the altercation before being rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment. Thankfully, he is now reported to be in stable condition.
Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Response to the Assault
In response to the traumatic incident, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif’s wife, released a statement calling for privacy as the family grapples with the aftermath of the attack. She labeled the day as “incredibly challenging” and urged both the media and paparazzi to curtail their coverage and speculation about the situation. “The constant scrutiny and attention are not only overwhelming but also pose a significant risk to our safety,” she emphasized, appealing for the cooperation of the media during this sensitive period.
