How Mumbai police cracked Saif Ali Khan stabbing case using facial recognition

Facial recognition technology has played a key role in cracking the case of Saif Ali Khan's stabbing, confirming that the 30-year-old Bangladeshi national arrested in connection with the attack, is the same person seen in CCTV footage from the crime scene. The police said the forensic analysis validated that Mohammad Shariful Islam, who had entered the actor's Bandra residence with the intent to rob on January 16, was the individual captured on security cameras installed at the high-rise building where Khan lived.

According to the Bandra police, the forensic report, which utilised facial recognition, verified that the 30-year-old Bangladeshi national arrested in connection with the crime is the same person seen in the CCTV footage from the Satguru Sharan building, where the actor resides.
