(MENAFN- Live Mint) Multiple fingerprints of the accused have been collected from various spots as part of the probe into the January 16 knife attack on popular bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan, a Mumbai Police official said on Monday.

Khan was repeatedly stabbed by the intruder inside his apartment in Satguru Sharan building in upscale Bandra on Thursday, necessitating surgery.

The fingerprints of the accused have been found at the crime scene, including the bathroom window from where he entered and exited, the duct shaft and the ladder he used to enter from the duct, the official said.

Fakir, a native of Jhalokathi district in Bangladesh, had been residing in Mumbai for over five months, working odd jobs and associated with a housekeeping agency, police said. On Sunday, the metropolitan magistrate's court in Bandra remanded him in 5-day police custody.
