Saif’s attacker changed clothes, likely took train from Bandra, new pic shows

A new picture of the attacker who stabbed Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has surfaced, two days after the incident took place at the actor’s house in Mumbai’s Bandra.

In this new picture, which is a screengrab from CCTV footage, the attacker can be seen in a different set of clothes than he was seen wearing in the earlier pictures. An earlier visual of the attacker, a day after the incident, showed him wearing a blue shirt, as opposed to the black t-shirt he wore on the night he attacked the actor.

Mumbai Police said that the attacker likely took a train from Bandra to move around Mumbai or to travel to another place. Multiple police teams are scanning CCTV footage from railway stations across the city to track down the suspect.

According to the FIR, the intruder, who is yet to be arrested by the police, entered the bedroom of the actor’s younger son Jeh. After a house help raised an alarm, Saif intervened and suffered six stab injuries, including one to the thoracic spine.

The 54-year-old actor was rushed to the Lilavati Hospital, where surgery was performed to remove the knife and repair leaking spinal fluid. The actor is now out of danger. Apart from Saif, two other house helps also suffered injuries after being attacked by a hexa blade by the intruder.

The Mumbai Police has formed 35 teams to catch the attacker, who has been identified.
