The investigation found out that the fingerprints collected from actor Saif Ali Khan’s residence after an attempted burglary and knife attack do not belong to the accused, Shariful Islam.
According to reports, the Mumbai Police had sent 19 sets of fingerprints from Mr. Khan’s house to the state CID fingerprint bureau. The system-generated report from the CID revealed that the prints did not match Shariful. Reportedly, Mumbai Police submitted extra samples for further check up.
The attack happened on January 15 when an intruder broke into the 54-year-old actor’s house. Chasing the intruder, Mr Khan was stabbed in several places in the body while receiving some severe injuries as one of which he suffered his spine. Thereafter, from Lilavati Hospital, a doctor reported the spillage of his spinal fluid which had come dangerous just 2 millimeters away to his spinal column. Mr Khan though badly injured as per the latest report is already out of his hospital and now resting in the bed for next week.
Shariful Islam, a Bangladeshi national who had entered India illegally, according to reports, tried to commit the burglary as he wanted to raise money for fake citizenship papers promised by a person who is yet unknown. The police are searching for that man now.
Western Railway and Mumbai Police used CCTV footage and a facial recognition system to identify the suspects. Even though Shariful has been nabbed, the investigators are working at gathering conclusive evidence so that a strong case can be prepared against him.
