**Headline:** Breakthrough in Saif Ali Khan Attack Case: Forensic Evidence Links Accused to Crime Scene
In a significant development in the attack case involving actor Saif Ali Khan, forensic evidence has established a connection between the accused, Mohammad Shariful Islam, a Bangladeshi national, and the crime scene. The Bandra police have submitted a chargesheet that includes a report from the Fingerprint Bureau, confirming that a palm print discovered on the eighth-floor staircase door of Khan’s residence matches that of Islam.
According to the report from the Director of the Fingerprint Bureau, one of the three chance prints collected from the scene was a complete match with Islam’s left palm. This palm print was located on a wooden door at the eighth-floor staircase of Satguru Sharan, the Bandra building where the incident took place. The report stated, “Out of three chance prints, one chance palm print developed on the wooden door (at the 8th floor staircase) concerned in Bandra Police Station CR. No.85/2025, is identical with the left-hand palm print portion on the palm impression slip of Shariful Islam Sajjad (Arrested).”
The match was confirmed through a comparison with samples collected by the Bandra police. However, the other two prints found on the ninth-floor staircase door were deemed unusable due to insufficient ridge details. Similarly, prints taken from inside Saif Ali Khan’s residence, including those on a bathroom door and other surfaces, were also ruled out due to unclear ridge impressions.
A senior officer involved in the investigation suggested that the palm print on the eighth floor was likely left when Islam forcefully pushed the door. “He climbed from the first floor to the eleventh, trying to open the doors of other flats to commit robbery. The strong grip on the eighth-floor door left a usable print,” the officer explained.
The officer further elaborated on the unusable prints, noting that partial or light touches often fail to leave clear impressions. “By the time forensic teams reach the scene, other people may have moved around, and overlapping prints or faint holds can make some samples unusable. But one solid match is often enough,” he added.
In addition to the fingerprint evidence, the Bandra police have compiled other materials linking the accused to the crime. This includes facial recognition matches from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), the recovery of the weapon used, a backpack, blood-stained clothing, mobile tower location data, and positive identification by the complainant during a parade.
The attack occurred on January 16, when Shariful Islam entered the residential building with the intent to steal and attempted to break into Saif Ali Khan’s home. Authorities believe the evidence collected thus far provides a robust case against the accused.
