Saif Ali Khan stabbing incident: Actor strengthens his personal security with Ronit Roy’s firm

Following his discharge from the hospital on January 21, actor Saif Ali Khan has taken significant steps to enhance his personal security. The star has enlisted the services of actor Ronit Roy’s renowned security firm, Ace Security and Protection (AceSquad Security Services LLP), according to reports.

The move comes in the wake of a shocking incident on January 16, when Saif was stabbed multiple times during a confrontation with an intruder who broke into his Bandra residence. The incident raised concerns about the building’s security, prompting police to question the security staff.

While Ronit refrained from disclosing details of specific security arrangements to the media, he said, “We are already here with Saif. He is doing fine now and has returned home.”

The attack has sparked widespread concern among Bollywood personalities regarding the increasing security risks in Mumbai.

Meanwhile, the Mumbai Police apprehended the accused, Mohammed Shehzad, from Thane. A national-level wrestling champion from Bangladesh, Shehzad allegedly entered India illegally seven months ago. Using a West Bengal resident’s Aadhaar card, he procured a SIM card before relocating to Mumbai.

He claimed he was unaware of Saif’s identity during the attack. This aligns with the statement of the rickshaw driver who transported Saif to the hospital, who also stated he did not recognise the actor.

Authorities captured Shehzad near Hiranandani Estate in Kasarvadavali, approximately 35 kilometers from Saif’s residence, in a joint operation led by DCP Zone-6 Navnath Dhavale and the Kasarvadavali police.
