After the knife attack on Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan at his home in Bandra, the police have obtained CCTV footage of the attacker.
The footage, taken at 2:33 a.m. on Thursday, shows the attacker in the stairwell of the actor’s apartment. In the video, the attacker is seen wearing a T-shirt, jeans, and carrying an orange cloth over his shoulder, descending the stairs while looking directly at the camera.
According to the police, the attacker initially crossed the back wall of the building, then climbed the back stairs and entered the apartment through the fire exit.
A domestic worker at Saif Ali Khan’s home, Elia Ma Felipe, also known as Lima, was the first to spot the attacker and screamed to alert everyone.
The actor bravely confronted the attacker, but the assailant stabbed him six times, one of which left a knife lodged near his spine.
Saif Ali Khan was quickly rushed to Lilavati Hospital by his son Ibrahim. According to Dr. Nitin Dange, the actor’s condition is now stable.
Dr. Dange stated, “We performed emergency surgery to remove the knife and repair the leaking spinal fluid. Deep wounds on his left hand and neck were also treated.”
The police have filed an FIR in the case, including charges of robbery, illegal entry, and causing serious injury. They have stated that investigations are ongoing and that the attacker will be arrested soon.
