Twists and turns are going in the Saif Ali Khan stabbing case, as the recent charge sheet filed in this case revealed that the fingerprint samples collected from the actor’s Mumbai flat do not match those of the accused, Md Shehzad Shariful Islam. According to reports, a total of 20 fingerprints were sent, and 19 were not those of the accused.
Also, the fingerprints found on the black bathroom door, the sliding door of the bedroom, and the cupboard door did not match Shariful’s. The only fingerprint that matched the accused was the one recovered from the eighth floor of the building. This file also includes a forensic lab report, which states that the knife pieces found at the crime scene, on Saif Ali Khan's body, and from the accused are three pieces of the same knife, according to Mumbai police.
However, according to sources in the Mumbai police, fingerprint matches are rare, as many people touch the same objects, making them unreliable as sole evidence.
The Bollywood actor was attacked at his Bandra residence in Mumbai on January 16, 2025. The accused, Mohammad Shariful Islam, allegedly broke into Saif Ali Khan's 12th-floor apartment with the intent to rob. When confronted by the actor, Shariful stabbed him six times before fleeing the scene. The actor sustained multiple injuries and was hospitalised for emergency surgery. After six days following the stabbing incident at his Bandra residence, he was discharged on January 21.
