Saif Ali Khan assault: According to authorities, the intruder was trapped in a room of the apartment but was able to escape.

Since the intruder who attacked star Saif Ali Khan was not seen by the CCTV cameras in the lobby or elevators, the authorities believe he entered the apartment on the 12th level via the building shaft.

Hours after the actor was attacked at home, police stated Thursday that the intruder who broke into Saif Ali Khan's 12th floor residence in Bandra, Mumbai, was able to escape despite the family locking him in one of the rooms.

According to a senior police official, since the accused was not visible on the CCTV cameras in the lobby or the two elevators, they believe he may have entered the apartment through the building shaft. There are two entrances to the building, and the main one has two security guards the second has one.

The police assume that the accused entered the building through the second entry since the security wall is low and a net that was placed there is torn. Additionally, the authorities believe it might have been the work of an insider who knew the net was ripped.

According to the police, the intruder entered the house from the servant's quarter at the back after gaining admission and used the shaft. According to the authorities, he subsequently got into a fight with a nanny and then attacked Saif for stepping in.

According to a police officer, the accused assaulted Saif before the family shut him inside one of the rooms from the outside. But the defendant was able to escape through one of the windows in the room.
