Wary celebrities ask: We have laws, but what about order? | India News

MUMBAI: Thursday’s attack on Saif Ali Khan in his Bandra residence evoked shock within the film fraternity. Many questioned the safety and security of Mumbai’s citizens. Bandra celebrities said they were particularly worried.
From Parineeti Chopra, Raveena Tandon, Kunal Kohli, Pooja Bhatt, Imtiaz Ali, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Anup Jalota, to south Indian stars Chiranjeevi and Jr NTR, celebrities expressed concern for Khan’s health and wished the actor a speedy recovery.

Actor Pooja Bhatt said, “Law and order. We have laws… what about order? Local police are our first preventers/grassroot defenders. It is law enforcement’s duty to create an environment in which people with a criminal bent do not feel comfortable to operate. The beat officer must act as a deterrent in preventing criminal activity.”
Actor Raveena Tandon said, “Targeting celebrities in what used to be a safe residential area has become rampant, with Bandra losing out to unruly elements, accident scams, hawker mafia, encroachers, land grabbers and criminal elements. We need stronger measures.”
Director Kunal Kohli exclaimed at the horror of being attacked by a lurking assailant inside one’s own home. “It is shocking to find an intruder in your children’s room. Imagine Kareena’s horror as a mother at seeing an intruder with a knife in the children’s room.”
