Thank you for your inputs. This is what I did, changed the ExecStart
line in /usr/lib/systemd/system/fprintd.service to

ExecStart=strace -t -ff /usr/libexec/fprintd

Captured the logs after recreating the problem.
fprintd-pass-strace.log (working case) and
fprintd-strace-fail.log (failing case).

In case of failure I see following:

Jun 30 05:52:41 ltcden8-lp6 strace[5595]: [pid  5599] 05:52:41 connect(5, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket"}, 110) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)
fprintd-fail-strace.log:Jun 30 05:52:41 ltcden8-lp6 strace[5595]: [pid  5599] 05:52:41 sendmsg(5, {msg_name={sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/run/systemd/journal/socket"}, msg_namelen=29, msg_iov=[{iov_base="GLIB_OLD_LOG_API", iov_len=16}, {iov_base="=", iov_len=1}, {iov_base="1", iov_len=1}, {iov_base="\n", iov_len=1}, {iov_base="MESSAGE", iov_len=7}, {iov_base="=", iov_len=1}, {iov_base="Failed to open connection to bus"..., iov_len=71}, {iov_base="\n", iov_len=1}, {iov_base="PRIORITY", iov_len=8}, {iov_base="=", iov_len=1}, {iov_base="4", iov_len=1}, {iov_base="\n", iov_len=1}, {iov_base="GLIB_DOMAIN", iov_len=11}, {iov_base="=", iov_len=1}, {iov_base="fprintd", iov_len=7}, {iov_base="\n", iov_len=1}], msg_iovlen=16, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)

For working case connect works

fprintd-pass-strace.log:Jun 30 05:58:18 ltcden8-lp6 strace[2585]: [pid  2658] 05:58:18 connect(5, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket"}, 110) = 0
