As per some of the reliable news agencies, the investigating police had spotted the intruder-cum-stabber while examining the CCTV footage of the building. He was seen armed with a wooden stick and a long Hexa blade, while fleeing after the attack.
The Mumbai Police has arrested the attacker in the morning hours of Friday of the 17th of January 2025. He is being considered the accused of stabbing Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan.
Saif was stabbed by an intruder at his Highrise apartment in upscale Bandra in Mumbai on Thursday.
As per initial investigation, the attack on Saif took place during a “burglary attempt” in the apartment housed in ‘Satguru Sharan’ building. The CCTV footage of the building exhibited the intruder.
The footage, captured at 2.33 am, clearly showed the young suspect’s face. He was seen wearing a brown collared T-shirt and red scarf while descending the stairs on the sixth floor of the building.
In a fresh revelation in the Saif Ali Khan attack case, Mumbai Police suspect that the intruder who stabbed the actor also conducted a recce of Shah Rukh Khan’s residence earlier this week. Following the attack on Saif, a police team visited Shah Rukh Khan’s residence “Mannat” to further investigate the matter.
Saif had sustained six stab injuries after being attacked by the intruder in his Bandra home late Wednesday night. Surgery was performed to remove the knife and repair leaking spinal fluid. The actor is now out of danger.
Police sources said suspicious movement was seen near Shah Rukh Khan‘s residence also on January 14. A person attempted to observe the premises by placing a 6-8 feet long iron ladder at the rear side of the retreat house adjacent to Mannat.
Police suspect that the person who conducted the recce could be the same individual involved in the attack on Saif Ali Khan. The CCTV footage recovered from Mannat showed that the person’s height and build closely resembles the suspect seen in the footage obtained from Saif’s flat.
Moreover, sources indicate that the person is unlikely to have acted alone. Sources said the iron ladder placed at Shah Rukh Khan’s residence is believed to be too heavy for a single person to handle, suggesting the involvement of at least two to three people in the incident.
While Shah Rukh has not filed any complaint regarding the incident, the police are taking the matter seriously. Police are probing whether the ladder used for the recce was reported stolen.
Meanwhile, the police have detained a suspect in connection with the attack on Saif Ali Khan. The attacker, however, is yet to be arrested, with over 35 hours having passed since the incident at Satguru Sharan apartment.
Mumbai police had formed 35 teams to track down and nab the intruder, who also injured two staffers of the actor.
It is now said that the attacker entered the actor Saif’s home through the fire exit staircase with the likely intent to commit burglary and stayed there for hours. The 54-year-old actor underwent surgery after a serious injury to the spinal cord; he is currently stable. CCTV footage had revealed the the suspect was seen carrying a backpack.
The intruder had fled the scene following a scuffle with Khan in the wee hours between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. on Thursday. The police had questioned three staff members from the actor’s house. In the afternoon, a forensic team from the Mumbai Police was seen leaving Saif’s apartment after collecting fingerprints. An FIR was registered at the Bandra police station.
