Shocking news came from Mumbai. There was a murderous attack on film star Saif Ali Khan. The attacker entered Saif’s house and stabbed him six times with a knife. Two wounds are quite serious. The knife entered Saif Ali Khan’s spinal cord and broke it. He also has a deep wound on his neck. He also suffered knife injuries on his hands and stomach. After the operation, the piece of knife stuck in the back has been removed. Surgery has been done for the injuries on neck and chest. Saif Ali Khan is now out of danger in Lilavati Hospital and has been sent to his room from the ICU.
Doctors say that Saif Ali Khan will be discharged soon but now he will not be able to walk for several days. The biggest question is how did the attacker enter Saif Ali Khan’s flat? How did he get entry?
Saif Ali Khan was on the twelfth floor of his building. This accident happened on the 11th floor. There is security around the apartment. Guards are deployed outside and inside the building. No unknown person is allowed to enter without questioning.
The Sadguru apartment where Saif Ali Khan lives has four layers of security. First of all, there are security guards at the gate but the police claim that the thief entered by climbing the wall. The second layer is in the lobby, close to the elevator. The lift opens with the thumb impression of the people living in the building but it is being claimed that this person reached the eleventh floor by stairs instead of lift. The third layer of security is a glass door after the lift opens on every floor, which opens with the thumb impression, face recognition or card of the people living on that floor.
After this, there is a camera and voice message system at the main door to go inside the apartment. There is a password lock on the gate. Even after this, how did the attacker enter Saif Ali Khan’s house on the eleventh floor? No answer has been found till now and until the answer is given, it will not be clear whether the person who attacked Saif had actually entered with the intention of stealing or his intention was to harm Saif. It is a matter of relief that Saif Ali Khan survived this murderous attack but this has raised questions on the security system of Mumbai. There was firing at Salman Khan’s house in this area. NCP leader Baba Siddiqui was publicly murdered in this area. In such a situation, people’s concern is justified and that is why it has also become a political issue.
Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena, Sharad Pawar’s NCP and Congress raised questions on the law and order situation in Mumbai. Sanjay Raut said that this was an attack on a star like Saif, that is why there is noise, otherwise the common people of Mumbai are becoming victims of criminals every day. Sanjay Raut said that the entire emphasis of the Mahayuti government is on the security of those leaders who have broken away from other parties, the government is not concerned about the common people. Sharad Pawar’s daughter Supriya Sule said that crimes are increasing rapidly in Maharashtra, criminals are so unbridled that they are entering high security zones and carrying out attacks, this is a matter of concern.
AIMIM spokesperson Waris Pathan said that the day the Prime Minister was in Mumbai, security was tight. If Saif Ali Khan could be attacked by entering his house that day, then it is not difficult to imagine what would have happened to the common people in the remaining days. Waris Pathan said that in a high security area like Bandra, three major incidents have taken place one after the other, so now the government will have to answer.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that Saif’s family is related to the family of Gurudev i.e. Rabindranath Tagore and she respects Saif’s mother Sharmila Tagore very much, hence she wants that Saif’s attacker should be caught as soon as possible and he should be punished. There should be severe punishment. In Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal directly linked the attack on Saif to national security. Kejriwal said that BJP’s double engine government has failed, BJP is neither able to protect the borders nor is maintaining internal security, the condition of law and order in Delhi is the same as that of Mumbai.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that Mumbai is the safest city of India, Mumbai should not be maligned on the basis of one or two incidents.
It is true that there was a murderous attack on Saif by entering his house, this is a big security lapse, the government is accountable, but there is a need to see and understand how amazing politics is in our country. Delhi elections are in front of Kejriwal. He linked the Mumbai incident to Delhi. Mamata Banerjee found the connection of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore in this. Waris Pathan linked it to the Prime Minister’s visit to Mumbai and Sanjay Raut linked this case to the disintegration of Shiv Sena. Therefore no one takes such statements seriously. But Devendra Fadnavis will have to answer. In an area where many film stars live, if there are three security lapses, then questions will be raised. It should be hoped that the entire truth about the murderous attack will be revealed soon. (Rajat Sharma)
