**Mumbai, India** – Three days after actor Saif Ali Khan was stabbed during a home burglary, his attacker remains at large, despite a massive police manhunt involving 30 teams. New CCTV footage has emerged, showing the suspect in a yellow shirt buying headphones in Dadar around 9 am – six hours after the attack at Mr. Khan’s Bandra residence. This is the fourth visual released since the incident. Further footage shows the suspect at Bandra railway station later that day, wearing a blue shirt, suggesting he may have fled by train.
Mr. Khan, who sustained six injuries including one near his spine, is recovering well after surgery and has begun walking, according to doctors. A nurse who witnessed the incident described the suspect as a dark-complexioned, slim man in his late thirties, approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall. Police believe he scaled a wall and used a fire shaft to access Mr. Khan’s apartment and escape.
While a man with similar features was briefly detained, police confirmed he was not involved. The investigation continues, with police questioning individuals seen in the area at night and those with prior criminal records. At least 15 individuals were questioned yesterday.
The attack has sparked political debate, with opposition parties criticizing Mumbai’s law and order situation. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis responded by stating that it would be inaccurate to characterize Mumbai as unsafe. The search for the attacker continues.
