The police had earlier expressed the lax nature of the security at the building that houses high profile people with hardly any CCTV cameras in the building and just few security guards.
Ace Security and Services owned by actor Ronit Roy will now be providing security to the building. The security agency has in the past provided security to top actors like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. A senior official at the agency confirmed, ” Yes we will be providing them security.”
Apart from the security agency, the CCTV network in the building that was found lacking during the attack has also been upgraded. Other tweaks have also been made to the building security to ensure no easy entry into the building.

Apart from private security, Saif Ali Khan has been granted two police constables as security cover. An official said that to provide categorised security it would take time so they have provided two constables unofficially for now.
Police said that they will also be conducting meetings with housing society members in Bandra to ensure proper security measures are in place.
On Wednesday, the police team took accused Mohammad Shariful Islam, 30, to Bandra talao (pond) around where police suspect he may have thrown the butt of the knife he had used to attack the actor, which got lodged in his back.
While the tip of the knife was recovered from Khan’s body, another piece was found at his residence.
