After the incident, Shiv Sena (UBT) spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi said that the attack on Saif Ali Khan raises questions on the Mumbai Police and Maharashtra's Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis. NCP (SP) leader Clyde Crasto also questioned the law and order situation in Mumbai, adding that "fear of law seems to be at a low in Maharashtra due to leniencies in the past couple of years."
"Attack on Saif Ali Khan is a cause for concern because if such high profile people with levels of security can be attacked in their homes, then what could happen to common citizens? Fear of law seems to be at a low in Maharashtra due to leniencies in the past couple of years," Crasto said in a post on X.
