While there is no confirmation yet that this individual was the one who broke into Saif Ali Khan’s home and assaulted him, sources indicated that the suspect was spotted near the Bandra railway station shortly after the incident. Investigations are ongoing as police seek to clarify the details surrounding the attack.

The Mumbai Police Crime Branch has formed seven teams to track down the attacker. Saif’s domestic help, who was the first to raise the alarm, also sustained a minor injury to her hand. She said it was during the scuffle and later filed a police complaint. Preliminary investigations suggest that the intruder did not forcibly break into the apartment. But he may have sneaked in at some point during the night.
