Correct option: (c) Saif

Explanation: 

We solve this problem by assuming that one of them is the robber and then check whose statement is true of false. We summarize the findings in a table.

Robber →
Statement ↓
Salman  Aamir Saif  Shahrukh
Salman F T F F
Aamir F F F T
Saif T T F T
Shahrukh T T T F
Only column with a single T

Therefore, it must be Saif who did it.
