NEW DELHI: Mumbai police on Friday recovered fresh CCTV footage from a mobile shop named “Iqra” from where Saif Ali Khan’s alleged attacker purchased headphones after the stabbing incident.
In a video, time stamped around 9am, about six hours after the incident, the attacker was seen in a blue shirt carrying a backpack.
This is the fourth CCTV footage that has emerged since the attack on Saif inside his plush apartment in Mumbai’s Bandra area in the wee hours of Thursday.
Saif Ali Khan Health Update
Earlier, new CCTV footage had come forth from the building of Saif Ali Khan’s Bandra residence. The clip showed a suspicious man climbing up the stairs of the building at around 1: 38am.
While his face was covered with a cloth, he can be seen carrying a backpack.
The actor suffered six injuries, including one near his spine, as he tried to fight off the intruder early Thursday morning. The bleeding actor was rushed to a hospital where surgery saved his life. In an update yesterday, doctors said the actor was recovering well and has been able to walk.
Mumbai Police said that they have taken possession of the portion extracted from Saif Ali Khan’s back while a part of the blade is still to be recovered.
He has been shifted out of the ICU to a normal room at Lilavati Hospital.
The incident occurred at around 2:30 am at Saif’s 11th-floor flat in the upscale ‘Satguru Sharan’ building. According to police, the attacker confronted a maid inside the residence before a violent altercation broke out.
Saif, attempting to de-escalate the situation, was stabbed multiple times.
The assailant fled the scene armed with a wooden stick and a long Hexa blade, which he used during the attack.
