Mumbai police clarified on Tuesday that they had “caught the right person” amid reports of mismatched fingerprints between those retrieved from Saif Ali Khan’s home and those of the man arrested. The police officials have confirmed that they have enough evidence to confirm the accused’s involvement in the case.
Further, additional CP West, Mumbai, Paramjit Dahiya, on Tuesday added that the investigation officer in the Saif Ali Khan case was changed due to administrative reasons, hence shutting down any rumors.
“Whatever fingerprints were collected from the crime scene, we have not received any official report (from CID) of the same as of this date… We have found much oral, physical, and technical evidence against the accused,” stated Dahiya on Tuesday.
He added that the statements of all the witnesses have been recorded and those of indirect witnesses will be recorded soon.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai police has categorically rubbished the reports, making rounds online, claiming that the 19 sets of fingerprints collected from Saif’s home do not match the fingerprints of accused, Shariful Islam.
Dahiya also informed that Saif reached Lilavati hospital at 2.47 am and the police were not informed about the attack by the actor, but the hospital had called them.
