[00:00:00] Namaskar, welcome to another episode of Editorial. You see under normal circumstances I do not talk about conspiracy theories. I prefer not to talk about conspiracy theories, sensationalism. I keep away from most of these.
[00:00:22] But today, I want to talk to you about an attack that took place on a gentleman called Saif Ali Khan who is a very big Hindi film star. An attack that happened in Bandra. I want to talk about the investigation and what has come up in the investigation in the last two days.
[00:00:48] I want to talk about a couple of more attacks that happened before this particular attack and then I want to try and figure out why are these attacks happening and why do they look so suspicious. That's my story today. Let's get right into the show.
[00:01:16] You see the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and who is also the Home Minister who also handles home portfolio said that listen, you know what one attack should not, you know, set panic in a state. He's right. He's right. One attack should not set panic in a state. He's right. Because violence, unfortunately, in this world happens. I agree to him.
[00:01:44] See the problem is when there are several attacks, more than one attack which raises eyebrows. First, let's talk about Saif Ali Khan's attack and what we know till now.
[00:02:03] The investigation is on and I think in all fairness, we should give the police chance to do their investigation to come out with whatever their investigation brings forward. But, okay. Till now. You see a man who is still identified because some people say that the CC footage is out. Some people say that that CC footage that is not the guy who actually did it.
[00:02:30] Some people say it is somebody else, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever. If you go by the maid, that is Mr. Saif Ali Khan's maid, then there was an intruder who actually popped up at 2 o'clock in the night. She got suspicious. She ran to her child's, that is Saif Ali Khan's youngest child's room where she said he was seen.
[00:02:57] And this attacker came into Saif Ali Khan's house with a hacksaw blade and a stick. Okay. He went into Saif Ali Khan's house with a hacksaw blade and a stick and demanded 1 crore rupees. So this whole hacksaw blade and stick, I found it very strange.
[00:03:21] Okay. Now Saif Ali Khan stays in Bandra in a super luxurious house. Okay. Super luxurious house. And he has a quadruplex in that house. He has 4 floors in that house. 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, I believe. Now the point is, and he was on the 11th floor. This incident takes place on the 11th floor.
[00:03:47] Now the point is, everybody staying in that building, no? Everybody staying in that building, are super rich. They're billionaires. Because otherwise you can't afford a flat in that building. Okay. So it is a building of billionaires. See, when there is a building of billionaires, normally that building is well guarded. Security guard is, right? I am a middle class fellow, middle class person. I come from a middle class colony.
[00:04:17] Even my building has a fairly decent number of security. My colony has a fairly decent number of security. You just, I mean, I don't think somebody can just attack somebody and then run away. And nobody knows this. Normally it doesn't happen. In a colony like this where they are billionaires, I am sure the security arrangement made for those people, to protect those people, would be the billionaire types. Okay, right? Would you agree to that? Okay.
[00:04:46] Now, Saif Ali Khan is married to a lady called Kareena Kapoor. Now both Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor were superstars in Hindi film industry. They are very big names in Hindi film industry. And both have got their personal security arrangements, personal bouncers and bodyguards and all of that. They have their personal bodyguards.
[00:05:13] The building has, I'm sure, has a fairly decent security. And if I, my information serves me right, if my information serves me right, they also have police protection. So police protection, security guards of the building, their personal security guards, all this, this one man with a stick and a hexo blade, they breached all of it and got into the child's room. Saif Ali Khan's child's room.
[00:05:43] Sounds okay to you? Chalo. That also I agree. So the lady, this maid very bravely fought, protected the child, fought or at least tried to protect the child and defend the child. And in the process of defending the child, she herself got wounded with the hacksaw blade that the attacker were carrying. And then came Saif Ali Khan and then he tried to protect his child.
[00:06:12] And then the story was that he was stabbed. He was stabbed with a knife, a kitchen knife, possibly, which was taken from the house itself. A kitchen knife. He was stabbed and he was stabbed six times. One stab almost damaged his spine. Luckily, it was millimeters away from his spine. So that saved his life. That was a very lucky thing that happened. Thank God for it. And he had, he suffered a lot of wound injuries.
[00:06:41] They say he was in ICU and he will be moved to a regular room soon. So which means he is recovering. Okay. So one man, okay, in a house, which normally should have a fairly decent amount of staff, one person with a hacksaw blade and a stick and a, now newly found knife, did all this. Asked for one crore, didn't get one crore.
[00:07:13] And walked down, opened the door and walked down. And he is not found. Till date he is not found. Some people were called in, then they were said that this is not the person concerned. The man went up to 14th floor, they say through some ducting, climbing from ground to 14th floor, with one stick and one hacksaw blade, hoping to get one crore rupees. One crore rupees. That is another very interesting factor. Who keeps one crore rupees at home? One crore rupees. How much is it?
[00:07:44] And he was expecting that, you know, one crore rupees, once a day, once a day. What? What? What? Okay. So he, and he walks down. So CCTV footage, security guards bouncers. All of them, nobody, nobody knows and he walks out. He vanishes. when this robber who attempts to rob he doesn't rob incidentally
[00:08:12] who attempts to rob and when he runs normally every house has a intercom to contact the security guard saying intercom intercom nobody intercom from the top to bottom saying that no he went he vanished he vanished into thin air he just disappeared correct so that happened
[00:08:43] now the fourth part Saif Ali Khan was wounded wounded badly he was wounded on his back that is what the rickshaw driver says back, front, everywhere he was wounded poor man must be in a lot of pain too he came down and he had to take a rickshaw to go to Leelawati hospital an auto rickshaw isn't it strange you are saying in a bilineers building you
[00:09:12] don't have a car you don't have a driver at 2am which is kind of surprising because most of these people have chutes around the clock so they have drivers on duty around the clock most of them maybe he doesn't it's not necessary that he should also have it he doesn't but most of these stars have drivers around the clock because chutes it's not necessary always happens from 9 to 5 no it happens different times anyway so he doesn't have a driver and nobody in his house
[00:09:42] knows to drive nobody in his house has ever driven a car so he comes down with his little child and one more help comes down doesn't knock any doors in the 14th floor building where bilineer stays and everybody must be having 3 to 4 cars at their disposal he doesn't knock anybody's door chup chup walks down it was not a small injury that happened no it was not a headache that he was complaining of no
[00:10:10] it was not a stomach ache that all of a sudden happened it was 6 stab wounds he didn't bother to disturb anybody in the building came down got into the auto rickshaw and went to Leelawati and got himself admitted with his little son now all this I find a little strange not that therefore I am saying that there is a conspiracy to it not that therefore I want to spread any sensationalism around it no
[00:10:39] not at all not at all not at all and not that I say that poor gentleman who suffered this wound that is Saif Ali Khan poor gentleman must have gone through hell and I pray for him I pray for him I pray for his early recovery the gentleman must have really had a very very bad time so that too but that being said the way things happened
[00:11:07] the way things are presented sounds very weird to me and the police has nothing different to say the police police is to some extent to some extent to my mind is corroborating to whatever is being said and that's what the narrative is now being set so that's point number one could have happened could not have happened this could have been the real story this couldn't have been the real story this could have been as weird as it sounds it could be what happened so
[00:11:37] one doesn't know so let us look wait and watch my team is also doing its own investigation a lot of people are doing their investigation they will also come up with their theories and I am sure they will come in front of you with their point but this is what I believe now you know the reason I I said a couple of events that happened in the recent past which is why I am even doing this editorial Baba Siddiqui
[00:12:08] he had two securities at any given point in time you know he was near his son's office and somebody in the night came and shot him where one security had left one security was there and the security was there didn't even bother to to protect him or to to return a shot they didn't even they didn't even do that and he was killed died on the spot Lawrence Bishnoi was the person who allegedly has killed him
[00:12:38] and Lawrence Bishnoi his gang was the was the gang that wanted to kill him why one doesn't know what was he doing with Lawrence Bishnoi what was Lawrence Bishnoi doing with him what was the problem one doesn't know was there a ransom one doesn't know was he asked for some ransom like here people were asked for 1 crore rupees was he asked for a ransom one doesn't know why was he killed one doesn't know but he was killed all the same security guard didn't return fire nothing happened he died
[00:13:08] that could have also happened then you had this incident of Salman Khan one night somebody went and fired bullets on Salman Khan's residence not at somebody just at this building they fired there were 4 of them and they too seems to be belonging to the Bishnoi gang that is the Lawrence Bishnoi
[00:13:38] gang and the 4 suspects who were arrested by the police Vicky Gupta Sagarpal Anush Thapan and another individual from Punjab so there were 4 suspects later on that 4 got added to 6 there were 6 individuals this claim who went and shot outside Salman Khan's house and this Anush Thapan was killed in police custody he died in police custody one person dies just people come bandra shoot go
[00:14:08] and yeah the guys are in custody right now and that matter ended there nothing much came out of that matter you see there is another star called Govinda this too I find it very strange of course he says that there is nothing strange about it it is just an incident I am very happy everything is fine there is no problem and it could be it could be it could be but I have a few questions in this also
[00:14:39] you see this man was traveling to Kolkata for a show this yesteryear actor he was a good actor a big actor former superstar of Hindi film industry Govinda this gentleman was traveling to Kolkata and that to a morning flight I am sure a lot of y'all who must be listening to this editorial would know what a morning flight means it is a very tough
[00:15:09] thing get up do your chores get pack your bags and run for a flight so he was up 4 o'clock 4 45 5 is what he says he went to check his gun he went to check his gun he was going to Kolkata in an aircraft now you can't carry a gun in an aircraft so obviously you are not checking his gun one checks your watch or one checks your laptop and all you can't take gun in the aircraft they will
[00:15:38] throw you out of the aircraft whoever you are but he claimed to have checked his gun at 4 40 in the morning and that gun fell from his hand shot and then wounded his legs very badly and it was a pool of blood so it is strange when you check and test your gun especially when you are supposed to catch a flight that gun would be the last thing you ever
[00:16:08] would want to check logically I found that very weird logically I found that very weird I am still saying what he must have said is true because he says it is true he says boss don't conjuncture anything don't create a conspiracy theory here what I am saying is true maybe it's true I am not disputing that it could be all of these incidents are happening in Mumbai and I
[00:16:38] agreed to the chief minister of Maharashtra that listen you know what an incident should not set panic and it should not but what why also request the chief minister of Maharashtra and this very professional force called the Mumbai police force is to respond you see it is the response that gives confidence to people there is an action and there is a reaction that reaction
[00:17:08] which the state which the police takes is what gives confidence to people let me give you an example let me give you an example you know there out in the city and there was generally panic in the
[00:17:38] city you know what this commissioner did I think he did that was a brilliant idea what this commissioner did is he would walk his dog every morning without any security without anybody guarding him without any cops he would wear his shorts and take his dog for a walk and he ensured that that walk that he did with his dog was covered
[00:18:08] by each and every media in the city you know what that developed that developed confidence in people he was sending a message to the confidence is in two levels one is by
[00:18:37] ensuring people that that we are there to protect you and secondly is by information by giving people information saying that there are A B C B E F G H steps that we that is when the administration gains the point
[00:19:08] I am trying to ensure that such incidents doesn't repeat in the city that is what the city is looking forward to till I see you next time Namaskar stay ahead with our cutting edge news app instantly access the latest shots in just one minute and breaking news in just 50 words download now for smarter faster news experience
