The fingerprints of the accused in the Saif Ali Khan attack case were lifted from the bathroom window, pipes and a ladder that the accused had accessed to gain entry to the actor’s flat.
The prints will now be verified against Shariful’s fingerprints to find out if there is a match. “After the fingerprints were lifted on the day of the offence, they were run through the national database but no match was found. The reason could be that Shariful does not have a prior crime record in the country,” an officer said.
The police have strong reason to believe that Shariful might have had a prior criminal record in Bangladesh. “He had carried tools used for burglaries such as hammers et cetera, besides the knife. The CCTV footage shows him going up the building without footwear but wearing his shoes on his way downstairs. This indicates he was careful to carry his shoes in his bag on his way up as he had climbed up the pipes,” an officer said.
Back in Bangladesh, Sharif has two brothers. His parents also live there. He is not married and has no relatives here. The police have not found any Indian identification documents on him.
“A day after the crime, Shariful saw his CCTV images being flashed on television news. He panicked on realising that the police were on his trail. He went into hiding in Thane with plans to board the Geetanjali Express to Howrah and cross the border to Bangladesh,” an officer said.
Before Shariful could execute his escape, a police team tracked him down.
A team of 75 policemen involved in the case were felicitated on Monday by joint police commissioner (law and order) Satyanarayan.
