MUMBAI: The intruder who attacked Saif Ali Khan in his flat in the dead of night remains untraced and police haven’t been able to determine how he left the building.
An investigating officer said Khan managed to gather everyone behind him in the corridor and pulled the door of the room to trap the intruder inside, but in the commotion, failed to lock the door from outside. This helped the intruder escape when Khan, his wife, their children and the staff rushed out to get help.
Police are not yet conclusive about the route taken by the intruder after leaving the building. Bandra police believe he took the fire escape stairwell to reach Khan’s 11th floor residence. “There’s a second image of the intruder, his face covered with a mask. It was captured on the sixth floor. And after the attack, he left by the same route. His face was not covered while leaving the building,” said a source.
The intruder’s image was captured only on the stairs in the building. There are not many CCTVs in the locality. The domestic help told police that there are no CCTVs on the floor leading to the actor’s flat nor any inside the flat.
“His arrest will tell us how he managed to enter the flat. If he used a tool to pick the door lock or take some other route to enter the toilet,” said police. A case of armed robbery has been registered.
