The search for the suspect involved in the stabbing of actor Saif Ali Khan during a burglary attempt at his Bandra residence continues into its third day. New visuals of the accused have emerged, intensifying the manhunt.
One of the latest images shows the suspect wearing a yellow shirt, though the timing of the photograph—whether before or after the attack—remains uncertain. Another CCTV capture places him at a mobile store in Dadar around 9 a.m., approximately six hours after the incident. This marks the fourth visual linked to the case since the attack.
The incident occurred at "Satguru Sharan," a 12-story residential building where Khan resides with his wife, actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, and their sons, Taimur and Jeh. CCTV footage revealed the intruder using the building's stairs to access the actor's floor and later fleeing the scene.
Later on the day of the attack, the suspect was seen at Bandra railway station, this time wearing a blue shirt. The same shirt was observed in footage from the Dadar mobile store. Authorities believe the suspect may have traveled by train from Bandra station following the incident.
Khan sustained six injuries, including one near his spine, while attempting to fend off the attacker in the early hours of Thursday. He was rushed to the hospital, where doctors performed surgery to save his life. Medical updates indicate that the actor is recovering well and has regained the ability to walk.
Eliyama Philips, a nurse caring for Khan's younger son Jeh, was the first to confront the intruder. She described the suspect as a dark-complexioned man, approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall, slim, and likely in his late thirties. Mumbai Police have expanded their efforts, deploying 30 teams to track the suspect. Authorities are questioning individuals found in the area at night and reviewing police records for leads. At least 15 people were brought in for questioning on Friday.
While a man bearing a resemblance to the suspect was detained, police later clarified he was not connected to the case. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis stated that investigators have gathered significant evidence and are confident of apprehending the perpetrator soon. The attack has sparked political debate, with opposition parties criticizing the city's law-and-order situation. Fadnavis countered these claims, asserting that Mumbai remains a safe city.
