Mumbai News Live Updates: Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan, who got discharged from the hospital on Tuesday following a stabbing attack, employed the services of fellow actor Ronit Roy’s firm to beef up his personal security. Roy was seen walking along Khan after he was discharged from the Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai on Tuesday. This comes after Saif Ali Khan sustained multiple stab wounds during an attack inside his residence in Bandra last Thursday.

Saif Ali Khan’s attacker jumped over compound wall: The Mumbai police said on Tuesday that the Bangladeshi national arrested for attacking Saif Ali Khan gained entry into his home by jumping the wall of the complex. The man went over the short complex wall and found the two guards sleeping, the police said after recreating the crime scene on Tuesday. “As he found both the security guards in deep slumber, the accused entered the building from the main entrance where no CCTV camera has been installed. The accused removed his shoes and kept them in his bag to avoid making any noise and also switched off his phone,” a police officer said.

Attack accused sparks immigrant row: The nationality of the accused in Saif Ali Khan attack case sparked a row between the BJP and opposition, with the latter blaming the central government for increasing number of Bangladeshi immigrants in the country. Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders have been mounting attacks on BJP-led Maharashtra government, urging them to deport all illegal Bangladeshis living in the state.

Mumbai News Live Updates: Sword hangs over Pataudi family properties worth Rs 15,000 crore after Saif Ali Khan was told to approach tribunal

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has directed actor Saif Ali Khan to approach the appellate authority against the central government declaring historical properties of the Pataudi family, estimated to be worth Rs 15,000 crore, as enemy property.

Provisions of the Enemy Property Act allow the Centre to claim properties owned by individuals who migrated to Pakistan post-Partition. It was promulgated in 1968, after the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965.

In 2014, the Custodian of Enemy Property Department issued a notice declaring the Pataudi family’s properties in Bhopal as “enemy property.” The dispute intensified after a 2016 ordinance by the Government of India, which explicitly stated that heirs would have no rights over such properties belonging to the Pataudi family.

Prominent properties under scrutiny include the Flag Staff House, where Saif spent his childhood, Noor-Us-Sabah Palace, Dar-Us-Salam, Bungalow of Habibi, Ahmedabad Palace, and Kohefiza Property. The court had been hearing Khan’s challenge since 2015. Read More
