The late-night attack on Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has left many questions, theories, and mysteries unresolved. Several hours have passed since the incident, yet the true motive remains unknown. Police have identified the suspect who carried out the assault inside Khan's home. Sources report that the attacker was captured on video on the sixth floor of Khan's Bandra apartment. Saif Ali Khan resides with his family on the twelfth floor.
A team of ten police units is now on the hunt for the accused. An FIR has been filed against the unknown attacker, with charges of illegal entry and attempted murder. Police have reviewed 25 to 30 CCTV footage clips, suggesting that the suspect was inside the home hours before the attack.

Many Questions Persist Despite DCP's Statement
Despite statements from the DCP of Mumbai Police's Crime Branch, many questions and answers remain. For instance, although the police assert that the suspect accessed the flat using the stairs, it is still unclear how he entered the home, as no signs of forced entry have been found. While the police suggest the motive was theft, there remains the question: did the attacker know any domestic helpers or others at the residence?
Police assert there is only one suspect and have identified him, yet in a high-profile apartment in Bandra, questions arise as to whether the thief had previously scouted the area, and why no guards noticed him. Is there more at Saif's home that remains hidden?

How Did the Intruder Enter the Home?
Recently, the Mumbai Crime Branch summoned a maid working at Saif Ali Khan's house for questioning at the police station. Sources suggest the maid shouted upon seeing the intruder enter. At this point, Saif Ali Khan, who was present at home, rushed to the scene. It is claimed that an altercation occurred between Khan and the intruder, resulting in the suspect attacking Khan with a knife, causing six injuries. The maid also sustained hand injuries. The maid is being questioned about when she saw the intruder, and how the burglar managed to enter the residence.
The good news is that Saif Ali Khan's surgery at Lilavati Hospital has been completed. Post-surgery, doctors have provided a comprehensive overview of Khan's health. Surgeons removed a piece of knife embedded in his spine. Saif underwent both neuro and plastic surgeries; he sustained six injuries, two of which are deep. His current health is reported as stable. Once permitted by doctors, Saif's statement will be recorded, with Bandra police tasked with the process.
