The Bandra police investigating the Saif Ali Khan attack case claimed on Friday that the forensic facial analysis report of the accused, Shariful Islam, matches the images captured on CCTV footage recovered during the investigation. While officials have confirmed this development, they have declined to go on record. The police have not specified which samples were sent to the forensic team at the Kalina Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL).

The most critical footage that should have been analysed was from the sixth floor of Satguru Sharan, where the accused was seen on the staircase going up and coming down on January 16. The attack on Saif Ali Khan occurred around 2 am, causing grievous injuries. Remarkably, Khan recovered within just four days and returned home.
