Police registers case

Police has registered a case of 'armed robbery with attempt to cause death or grievous hurt'. The attacker fled using the building's staircase, a senior police official said, adding that his CCTV visuals was traced on the sixth floor, and 10 teams have been formed to nab him.

Saif's domestic help, who raised the alarm first, also sustained a minor injury to her hand during the scuffle. She later lodged a police complaint.

“The police have given all the information. They have shared the motive and from where the intruder has come among other details and the probe is also on. Mumbai is the safest city among all the mega cities in the country. It is true that some incidents took place, which need to be taken seriously and because of them, terming Mumbai as unsafe would be inappropriate. It also tarnishes Mumbai’s image. The government is trying to make it more safe and secure,” said Mumbai chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on the incident.
