As Malaika arrived, she was quickly seen hurrying inside. Arjun Kapoor was spotted respectfully greeting the Khan family members. Mumbai Police were on the scene, and officials have confirmed that the reason behind the suicide is currently unclear, with no suicide note found.

Malaika was reportedly in Pune at the time of her father's death but returned to Mumbai immediately upon hearing the news. According to a source cited by PTI, there are conflicting reports about the nature of Anil’s death; some suggest it was an accident rather than suicide, noting that he had no known ailments. The police will clarify the circumstances through the 'panchnama' process.
