Delhi court clears man wrongfully accused of Australian murder
A Delhi court has let 37-year-old Mohammed Basheeruddin go after he was wrongly arrested for a 2003 murder in Redfern, Australia. The case involved the killing of Shoukat Mohammed, whose body was found in a wheelie bin. Basheeruddin's name came up because it sounded similar to the real suspect's.
TL;DR
Basheeruddin's fingerprints didn't match those from crime scene
Lab tests showed Basheeruddin's fingerprints didn't match those from the crime scene, and his lawyer pointed out he only got his passport in 2016 and had never been to Australia. The judge agreed there was no link, officially clearing him of any involvement.
