Emphasizing on the need to upgrade our security system, Mamta Kulkarni was quoted saying, "I was really saddened to learn about Saif's condition. I am really concerned regarding the security in the city. Why would they take the lives of their employers so lightly? Are they not being paid properly? I would like it if we all treat our security people with love, so that they give importance to the lives of their employers. This incident is not only limited to Saif, but such cases are taking place in various places like Gujarat, Mumbai, and Rajkot. The security people fall asleep and the robbers manage to enter the building. So, we need to tighten our security. I am deeply concerned about Saif and I will pray to the all-mighty that he regains his health quickly."
