Two people from Gujarat managed to find their way right into the lion’s den. This duo was booked after they were allegedly caught trespassing into Mannat, the residence of actor Shah Rukh Khan. As per the police, the incident occurred at around 4 am on Thursday. “Security guards at Mannat spotted the duo, who are in their early 20s, inside the building, and restrained them. We sent a team to pick them up,” said an officer with the Bandra police station. The officer added that the two men were questioned at length before an FIR was registered against them. “It seems that the two men are fans and wanted a glimpse of Khan, up close. Inquiries so far have not revealed any other mala fide intentions on their part.”
