In a new twist to the case involving the attack on actor Saif Ali Khan, the Mumbai Police suspect that the intruder who stabbed him may have also observed the residence of another Bollywood superstar, Shah Rukh Khan, prior to the assault. The police are now investigating the connection between the two incidents and believe the attacker may have scouted Shah Rukh Khan’s home, Mannat, earlier this week.
The attack on Saif Ali Khan took place late on Wednesday night at his home in Bandra, Mumbai. The actor was stabbed six times by the intruder, resulting in serious injuries. He required surgery to remove the knife and treat a leaking spinal fluid injury. Fortunately, Saif is now out of danger and recovering from the ordeal.
Following the attack, the police began investigating further and discovered suspicious activity near Shah Rukh Khan’s residence, Mannat, on January 14. According to sources, a person was seen trying to observe the house by using a long iron ladder. The ladder, measuring about 6-8 feet, was placed at the rear side of the property, which is adjacent to Mannat. This unusual behavior raised concerns, and the police began to suspect that this might be linked to the attack on Saif Ali Khan.

CCTV footage from Mannat reportedly shows a person whose height and build match the suspect seen near Saif’s flat. This led the police to believe that the same person might have been involved in both incidents. Furthermore, the police think that the intruder may not have been working alone. The iron ladder was reportedly too heavy for a single individual to carry and position, suggesting that there may have been two or three people involved in this suspicious activity.
Despite the investigation, Shah Rukh Khan has not filed any official complaint about the incident. However, the police are taking the matter seriously and are probing the situation further. They are also looking into the possibility that the ladder used during the recce could have been stolen, which may provide further clues about the attackers’ intentions and methods.
In addition to the investigation into the potential connection between the incidents at Saif Ali Khan’s and Shah Rukh Khan’s homes, the police have detained a suspect in connection with the attack on Saif. However, the main attacker has not yet been arrested. It has been over 35 hours since the assault took place, and the police are working hard to track down the intruder. They have even formed 35 special teams to aid in the search.
The attack on Saif Ali Khan has also left two of his staff members injured. While the police continue their investigation into both the attack on Saif and the suspicious activity at Shah Rukh Khan’s home, the case is far from resolved. Authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant and are hopeful that they will soon have more information that can lead to the arrest of those responsible for these disturbing incidents.
