Attempt to enter another flat

On January 16, via Bandra and Khar, he reached Satguru Sharan, where Saif Ali Khan lives with Kareena Kapoor Khan and family.
To avoid being caught on CCTV cameras, Shariful passed through several lanes in Khar and finally reached the actor’s building. He told the police that he found it very luxurious and decided to attack. He entered the building by scaling a four-foot high compound wall of the adjacent building.
Climbed up the pipeline
When Shariful entered Satguru Sharan, the watchman there was taking a nap. To climb up 12 feet, Shariful used a ladder lying in the building premises. Then climbed up the pipeline.
As the duct on the fourth floor of the building was covered with pigeon droppings, he got out of it and climbed to the seventh floor using the emergency staircase. That’s when his picture was captured in the only CCTV camera installed on the sixth floor.
On the seventh floor, he again entered the duct to climb into the actor’s flat through the bathroom window, a police officer said. Investigations revealed that after escaping from the actor’s house in Satguru Sharan Building at 2.30 am on January 16, he jumped 12 feet from the first floor to the ground.
What else did the officer say?

He then came out of the bathroom where he was spotted by Saif’s staff, which triggered a chain of events that led to the attack,” an officer said.
The accused started arguing with a domestic help present in the house and demanded Rs 1 crore. Hearing the commotion, Saif rushed there and caught him from the front, the officer said.
