The Saif Ali Khan stabbing case is no less than a Bollywood movie full of twists and turns. Now in the latest plot twist, the Mumbai Police chargesheet revealed that the fingerprints found inside the actor’s Bandra flat did not match that of Shariful Islam, who was arrested as the primary accused in the case.
As per reports, around 20 samples from Saif’s house and building were sent to the state CID’s Fingerprint Bureau, out of which 19 did not match with Shariful. The one fingerprint which did match with that the of the accused was picked from the 8th floor of the building.
The chargesheet also mentioned that the fingerprints recovered from the bedroom, bathroon and cupboard doors did not match with Shariful’s fingerprints.
However, Mumbai Police officials stated that fingerprint matching was not foolproof evidence as chances of them matching are one in 1000, due to multiple people touching a single object.
Last week, the Mumbai Police filed a 1000-page chargesheet in the Saif Ali Khan stabbing case, and it consisted of fingerprints, facial recognition and other forensic submissions. The chargesheet also confirmed Shariful to be a Bangladeshi national.
Saif was attacked at his Bandra residence in January this year in the middle of the night. Reportedly, it was a robbery attempt gone wrong, and that the accused did not even know that he was breaking into the actor’s house.
Shariful reportedly held Saif and Kareena Kapoor Khan’s youngest son Jeh hostage, and when Saif tried to protect him and pin the intruder down, the latter attacked and stabbed him with a knife in the back.
While Shariful fled the scene for the time being, Saif was rushed to the hospital with multiple wounds and a piece of knife lodged in his back.
