What happened that midnight?
In her police statement, Eliyama Philip, a nanny for Saif’s youngsters, claimed she was the first to see the intruder. The 56-year-old claims he was awakened by noises at 2 a.m. She observed the bathroom door open and the light on, and believed Kareena Kapoor Khan was checking on her younger son Jahangir or Jeh.
“… then I went back to sleep, but I knew something was amiss. So I awoke again and observed a man exiting the bathroom and entering the boy’s room. I got up immediately and went into Jeh’s room. According to Ms Philip, the attacker then put his finger near his mouth and whispered in Hindi, ‘Don’t make any noise, nobody will go out’.
“I rushed to pick up Jeh, who was armed with a wooden stick and a long Hexa blade. She stated that she ran towards me and attempted to attack me.
“I tried to block the attack by putting my hand forward, but the blade hit me near the wrists of both my hands and on the middle finger of my left hand,” according to her.
At the time, I asked him, ‘What do you want?'” He said, ‘I want money.’ I enquired, ‘How much do you want?’ According to Ms Philip’s statement, he said ‘one crore’ in English.
Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan raced out of their room after hearing Ms Philip cry. Ms Philip stated that when Mr Khan asked the intruder what he wanted, he attacked him with a wooden object and a hexa blade.
An attack that shocked Mumbai.
The attack on the popular actor stunned the nation and raised concerns about the law and order situation in Maximum City. From the opposition to members of the film industry, several notable voices have questioned the Devendra Fadnavis government about how safe regular people are if celebrities can be assaulted like way.
Under pressure, the Chief Minister stated, “Of all the megacities in the country, Mumbai is the safest. True, some situations occur on occasion and should be taken seriously, but claiming that Mumbai is unsafe based on a single incidence is incorrect. This tarnishes Mumbai’s reputation. However, the government is attempting to make Mumbai even safer.
