Speaking with investigators on Thursday, Khan described how the incident unfolded inside his 11th-floor apartment at Satguru Sharan.
According to sources, Khan and his wife, actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, were in their bedroom when they were startled by screams from their younger son Jehangir’s nanny, Eliyama Philips.
