The attacker who launched a deadly assault on Saif Ali Khan by infiltrating his Mumbai residence remains at large. To capture the culprit, Mumbai Police have assembled 20 specialized teams assigned with distinctive tasks. As the hunt progresses, numerous questions arise. Who was truly targeted by the attacker? Was it merely a theft gone awry, or was Saif Ali Khan's residence being breached for another reason?
The gossip mill isn't limited to Bollywood; it stretches across the country, pondering the true motive behind Saif Ali Khan's assault. Hospitalized at Lilavati Hospital under 24-hour medical scrutiny, Saif is fortunately safe. Yet, five significant questions linger prominently in the thoughts of Mumbai’s police force.
Questions Arise from the Attack
According to the FIR, the assailant was later locked in a room within Saif’s home; however, caretaker Lima states that upon sending Saif to the hospital and returning to the room, the door was open and the attacker had vanished. Now, this leaves the question, did someone unlock the door afterward? Moreover, police sources reveal that the suspect was not visible in CCTV footage taken two hours before the incident – insinuating the possibility that he may have entered the housing society or flat much earlier than recorded.

The third question involves the sole sighting of the suspect fleeing via the stairs after creating havoc at Saif’s home. Why wasn’t the assailant visible through the gate’s guard or other CCTV cameras? Fourth, most burglaries witness thieves fleeing when caught – unless outnumbered, they resort to attack. Why did the solo intruder choose attack over escape? Lastly, despite reports of an early arrival, he wasn’t seen during the theft but demanded one crore upon capture. Thus, is this crime solely related to theft?

The Caretaker’s Account of That Fateful Night
The FIR filed by children’s caretaker Lima contains a detailed account of the attack night. On Thursday at 2 AM, Lima sensed something amiss near the bathroom adjacent to Saif's sons, Jeh and Taimur's, room. She noticed the light on and an ominous shadow. Initially mistaking it as Kareena Kapoor checking on her child, she realized something was wrong, witnessing an intruder near the bathroom door advancing towards Jeh’s bed. Upon attempting intervention, she was warned into silence. Lima states the intruder demanded, "No noise."

According to the FIR, the attacker then brandished a knife-like weapon, attacking Lima’s wrist in defense. Sensing imminent danger, she inquired about his demands, to which he declared wanting "one crore rupees." Hearing the commotion, Saif and Kareena rushed to the scene, questioning his intentions. Claims assert the intruder attacked Saif and then vanished. Lima describes significant injury to Saif, leading to the family summoning more help. From the eighth floor, Ibrahim and Sara Ali Khan arrived, eventually transporting Saif to the hospital by auto.
