Kareena and I ran towards Jeh’s room after Eliyama screamed
Saif mentioned that when they heard a noise, he and Kareena Kapoor were near the bedroom on the 11th floor. When they heard their nurse Eliyama Philip screaming, they immediately rushed to their son Jeh’s room, where they saw an unknown person. At that time, Jeh was also crying.
Saif added he almost managed to stop the person, but in the meantime, the man attacked him with a knife. Afterwards, Saif regained control over the person. Somehow, Saif broke free from the attacker’s grip and pushed him into the room.
The other workers in the house took Jeh out of the room and locked it. Everyone was shocked at how the attacker had entered the house. The accused had also attacked the nurse Eliyama Philip, and after returning from the hospital, the nurse informed Saif that the attacker had demanded Rs 1 crore.
