Reacting to the Saif Ali Khan stabbing case, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday said that several clues related to the attacker had been collected by the Mumbai Police and they will arrest the culprit very soon, PTI reported.
The chief minister made the remarks at a time when the police found two clear images of the attacker in two different CCTV footage.
While addressing reporters in Nagpur, Fadnavis said, “Police investigation is going on….they have got many clues and I feel the police will very soon zero in (on the culprit).”
Fadnavis, who has a home portfolio in the state, had earlier said that Mumbai is one of the country’s safest cities and that it is wrong to judge safety on the basis of some incidents.
“Among all the megacities in the country, Mumbai is the safest. It is true that some incidents take place sometimes and they should be treated with seriousness but to say, based on one incident, that Mumbai is unsafe would not be correct. This tarnishes Mumbai’s image. But the government is working to make Mumbai even safer,” said Fadnavis, while speaking to the media.
How Was Saif Ali Khan Attacked?
The attacker had broken into the house of actor Saif Ali Khan in post Bandra West neighbourhood on Thursday early morning and entered the room of his son Jehangir where he had a scuffle with the actor in which the latter got stabbed six times.
The actor was rushed to Lilavati Hospital where he underwent surgeries and the doctor removed a 2.5-inch part of the knife from his back.
In one of the CCTV cameras, the attacker was seen using the stairs to flee from the building. Meanwhile, in another image that surfaced on Friday, he is seen in a new set of clothes.
It was reported that the intruder had demanded Rs 1 crore after breaking into the flat of Khan. Mumbai Police have not made any arrests so far and are trying to trace the location of the accused.
