Fingerprints found at the actor’s Bandra residence do not match Shariful Islam Shehzad

The accused, Shariful Islam Shehzad, is a Bangladeshi national who was arrested for allegedly attacking the actor at his residence. His sample did not match the fingerprints found at the actor’s Bandra residence.

Saif Ali Khan’s case is becoming murkier with each passing day. According to Mid-Day reports, the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID), which submitted negative reports on the fingerprint samples of Shariful, gave a setback to the Mumbai Police amid buzz on social media that the wrong individual had been arrested.

It was earlier suspected by the people that the man seen on the CCTV footage of Saif’s building and the man arrested were two different individuals.

A Mid-Day source also confirmed that after Shariful’s fingerprints were submitted to the CID’s fingerprint bureau for analysis, the bureau verified in a report created by the system that none of the 19 fingerprints found at the crime site matched Shariful’s. On Friday, the report was forwarded to the CID Superintendent in Pune.

The Mumbai Police East region team led by DCP Navnath Dhavale of Zone 6, had arrested Shariful. However, according to the report, which cited sources, the team had limited information on the case because the Zone 9 team was handling it originally.
