Marathi film actress Sonalee Kulkarni’s father Manohar Kulkarni sustained a knife injury on his arm after a man who trespassed into the house on Tuesday morning attacked him. Police have arrested the man and launched a probe.

The incident took place at the actress’s residence in Nigdi when her parents were home. The man entered their house around 7.30 am by reportedly climbing up a pipe and then entering via the terrace. He was first spotted by the housemaid.

Police said they have identified the 24-year-old man they have arrested. A police officer from Nigdi police station said, “The motive behind the man trespassing into the house is being probed. Our primary investigation suggests that he is a fan of the actress. He is being questioned.”
