Shah Rukh Khan was surprised to see strangers on the property. The guards at Mannat handed over the duo to the Bandra Police,” the FIR stated.

In her statement to the police, Colleen D’Souza, the manager of Shah Rukh Khan’s bungalow, revealed that she was informed by the security guard at 11am on February 2nd that two individuals had managed to enter the premises.

As per the Mumbai Police, the trespassers had entered the premises of Mannat by scaling the outer wall. During the police investigation, it was revealed that the two men were between the ages of 20 and 22 and had travelled from Gujarat with the intention of meeting Shah Rukh Khan.

After being arrested, the two suspects were remanded to police custody for one day where they were interrogated about their actions. According to reports, the duo had arrived in Mumbai on March 1st and had managed to sneak into Mannat.

While scaling the compound wall of the house, they had sustained minor injuries to their noses. The housekeeping staff at SRK’s residence had attended to their injuries and administered first aid before handing them over to the police.

On Saturday, the parents of the suspects arrived in Mumbai and secured their release on bail by posting a bond of Rs 10,000 each.
