Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar responded back saying that the 'Bangladeshi' attacker entered India via Kolkata, after which he entered Mumbai.
"Some opposition leaders have stated that law & order collapsed in Mumbai after the incident of attack on actor Saif Ali Khan. But the reality is that the accused came from Bangladesh. First, he came to Kolkata & then came to Mumbai. He was not aware that it was the house of some film star. He just entered the house with the intention of robbery," said Ajit Pawar.
