RPF officials confirmed that Mumbai Police verified Kanojia’s identity through a video call before taking him into custody. He will be handed over to Mumbai Police for further investigation.
Incident Background:
The stabbing occurred earlier this week at Saif Ali Khan’s Bandra residence around 3 a.m. during an attempted robbery. When Saif resisted, the intruder stabbed him six times, causing severe injuries, including a wound near his spine. Saif’s resistance prevented the robbery, but he required urgent medical treatment.
Investigation Update:
Mumbai Police had deployed over 30 teams to locate the suspect. Although an earlier arrest was reported, it was later clarified to be unrelated.
The capture of Akash Kanojia marks a major breakthrough in the case. His image has been circulated by Indian media, and authorities continue to investigate to ensure justice for Saif Ali Khan and his family.
