Saif Ali Khan Stabbed: CCTV Shows No Signs of Forced Entry, Insider Job Suspected

In a shocking turn of events, Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was reportedly attacked at 3:30 AM during an attempted burglary at his Bandra residence. The incident has left the city shaken as authorities delve into the case.

As reported by Hindustan Times, Saif Ali Khan's son from his previous marriage to Amrita Singh, Ibrahim Ali Khan, rushed to his father's aid following the attack. Despite living separately, Ibrahim, 23, quickly arrived at Saif and Kareena Kapoor Khan's home after hearing about the break-in. He helped transport his father to Lilavati Hospital, as confirmed by Dr. Niraj Uttamani, the hospital's COO.

No External Entry Detected in CCTV Footage

The Mumbai Crime Branch has shared important developments in the investigation. They confirmed that the intruder was not captured on CCTV in the building's lift or main lobby, prompting investigators to suspect that the burglar may have accessed all 12 floors via the shaft.

Mumbai Police have been reviewing CCTV footage to identify the assailant. Surprisingly, the footage does not show anyone entering the premises, leading investigators to suspect that the incident could be an insider job.

The intruder is believed to have initially entered the maid's quarters, where he reportedly had an altercation with the staff. The staff managed to overpower him, locking him in the children's room. However, the burglar eventually escaped. According to reports, the back entrance's safety wall is low, with only one watchman stationed there, which may have facilitated the break-in.

Family Safe; Maid Injured

Reports indicate that during the attack, Saif's wife, actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, and their two sons, Taimur and Jeh, were inside the house but escaped unharmed. However, the family's maid sustained minor injuries during the incident.

Staff Under Scrutiny

The police have detained three individuals employed at Saif Ali Khan's residence for questioning. It remains unclear how the intruder gained access to the house, strengthening suspicions of an insider's involvement. Authorities are also probing whether the attacker was already present inside the premises.

Maid's Role Under Investigation

Media reports citing sources suggest the burglar may have been acquainted with the maid, with an altercation between them potentially triggering the incident. The maid's role in the case is under investigation as part of the broader probe.

Mumbai police detain suspects

Mumbai police have detained three suspects as the investigation continues to track down the main culprit who stabbed Saif Ali Khan six times.

Bollywood Under Threat?

The attack on Saif Ali Khan comes three months after the shocking murder of Baba Siddique, a close friend of Salman Khan, allegedly by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The gang has been under scrutiny for targeting Bollywood celebrities, including an earlier incident where bullets were fired at Salman Khan's residence.

As the probe intensifies, Mumbai Police are exploring all angles to ensure justice is served and to determine whether this is part of a larger pattern of threats against Bollywood personalities.
