Saif Ali Khan underwent surgery at a hospital in Mumbai to remove a knife from his spine after he was repeatedly stabbed by an intruder at his home, and is now "out of danger". The attack reportedly took place in the wee hours of Thursday and left the actor grievously injured. As per the latest reports, police disclosed some major security lapses in the celebrity building where the couple owns an apartment, estimated to be worth ₹103 crore.

How did the intruder break into Saif's home?

Earlier on January 16, Dixit Gedam, DCP Zone 9 of the Mumbai Police, stated, "The accused used the fire escape staircase to access Saif Ali Khan's house last night, seemingly in an attempt to rob."

As per the latest update, the police found no surveillance cameras at the residence, which complicated efforts to trace the suspect. CCTV footage captured the individual fleeing the scene. Additionally, police reported that the building lacked both security personnel and a visitor tracking system like logs or anything which could help in the case.

Yesterday, the maid told the police she noticed the bathroom door open with the light on and initially assumed Kareena Kapoor Khan was checking on her younger son. She went back to sleep but soon sensed something was wrong. Waking up again, she saw a man emerge from the bathroom and enter the boy's room.

Security guards at Saif Ali Khan’s residence changed

As per the latest update, the society has replaced its private security guards, deploying three new ones at Satguru Sharan. Meanwhile, Mumbai police are questioning the guards who were on duty that night.

High-profile security breached by Saif's attacker

Actor Raza Murad shared that there is multi-layer security in place at Saif's residence, stressing further that it is not easy for anyone to gain access to his home. "There are 3-4 layers of security where you have to sign on the register, you have to write your mobile number, you have to sign and CCTV cameras are also installed. And since it is a celebrity's house, he too must have his own security," the veteran actor shared. 

For the attacker to gain access to Saif's home, he must have breached all the security levels. Meanwhile, the first image of the suspect has also been shared. 15 teams are on the field operation to nab him.
