The Mumbai Police has recovered a part of the knife used in the attack on Saif Ali Khan at his residence. The part of the knife was found in the children’s room at Saif’s residence on the morning of January 16. According to the information, the knife has been sent for forensic examination and fingerprints.
The accused’s picture was shown to both Kareena Kapoor and the caretaker. The police, however, did not say whether they recognised him or not. After the physical verification of the suspect from Chhattisgarh, it will be confirmed whether he is the accused or not. Other teams of Mumbai Police are also working on the case in some other states. As of now, the police have not been able to clarify how the accused entered Saif’s flat. The police are searching for the accused in Maharashtra as well as other states.
