‘We
cannot
enter
any
flat
in

the

gives
us
access.’
“Kaun
maara
hoga?
Aur
kyu?

stabbed
Saif
Ali

And
why?)”

This
is
the
question
every
resident
around
Saif
Ali
Khan’s
apartment
in
Bandra
West
is
pondering
over,
even
as
the
Mumbai
police
is
apparently
unable
to
find
the
motive
behind
the
attack.
So
far
the
police
has
been
mum
about
the
attacker’s
fate,
or
motive,
which
has
added
to
the
speculation
over
the
stabbing.
“There
are
12
floors
in
the
building.
Out
of
which
11th
and
12th
are
owned
by
Saif
where
he
stays
with
wife
Kareena
and
sons
Taimur
and
Jeh.
Why
did
the
attacker
enter
the
12th
floor
and
not
any
other
floor
of
the
building?”
asks
a
neighbour
from
the
adjacent
Nirvana
building.
Located
on
29th
road
in
posh
Bandra,
home
to
many
Bollywood
celebrities,
Satguru
Sharan
is
a
stone’s
throw
from
popular
hangouts
like
the
Title
Waves
book
store,
Eat
Around
The
Corner
restaurant
etc.
But
it
is
not
easy
to
get
access
to
Saif’s
home
as
there
are
four
levels
of
security
to
be
crossed.
A
laundry
worker
at
the
New
Kamal
Power
Laundry,
adjacent
to
Saif’s
building,
tells
this
correspondent,
“We
cannot
enter
any
flat
in
Satguru
building
until
the
watchman
gives
us
access.”

The
first
level
of
security
is
the
security
gate
at
the
building
gate.
After
getting
past
the
security
guard,
the
second
level
of
security
is
the
glass
door
opening
into
the
building’s
foyer,
which
cannot
be
opened
without
an
access
card.
“Only
the
security
guards
and
building
residents
have
access
cards
and
without
it
you
can’t
get
near
the
building
lift
too
to
reach
the
12th
floor
where
Saif
lives.
So,
how
did
this
attacker
enter?”
asks
the
laundry
worker.
Asked
about
using
the
staircase,
a
Swiggy
delivery
agent
says,
“The
staircase
is
locked
and
only
residents
have
access
to
it.”
“Buildings
which
have
actors
living
in
them
don’t
allow
Swiggy
or
Zomato
delivery
boys
to
enter
the
building
and
go
up.
We
are
told
to
deliver
the
parcel
to
the
watchman.”
“The
third
security
is
the
lift,
which
is
biometrically
operated
and
won’t
function
until
your
fingerprint
is
a
match.”
“The
fourth
level
is
the
safety
door
to
Saif’s
home,
which
the
intruder
has
to
get
past
to
reach
the
main
door,
only
after
which
you
can
enter
the
house.”
Asked
if
the
intruder
could
have
entered
the
building
through
the
duct,
the
laundry
worker
said,
“In
that
case
attack
why
attack
Saif
alone?
There
are
10
other
flats
in
the
building.”
“If
the
motive
was
to
attack
Saif
then
he
would
have
shot
him
rather
than
attack
with
a
knife.
There
are
a
lot
of
questions
that
need
to
be
answered.”
