What Happened At Mira Road
The crime took place when the victims, Rajkumar Mishra and Subrato Ramesh Sen, were stationed at the Asmita Grade Mission construction site behind Wockhardt Hospital, when the accused approached them.
Reports indicate that Ansari inquired about the guards' names and religion before allegedly demanding that Mishra recite the Kalma. When the guard refused, Ansari drew a knife and launched a violent attack. After assaulting the guards, the assailant fled the scene.
Ansari was arrested after he stabbed two private security guards in Maharashtra's Mira Road’s Nayanagar area after interrogating them about their religious identity and demanding they recite the ‘Kalma’ (an Islamic declaration of faith)- a request they reportedly denied. Police reports indicate that the assailant, a Mumbai native, had returned from US in 2019.
Rajkumar Mishra sustained serious injuries and was subsequently rushed to Wockhardt Hospital by a police team that arrived shortly after the incident. While Mishra remains under medical care in stable condition, the second guard, Subrato Sen, suffered minor injuries to his back.
Case Handed Over To Maharashtra ATS
The assault took place around 4 am on Sunday, leading to the arrest of the suspect, Jaib Zubair Ansari, by Nayanagar police within 90 minutes. Meanwhile, given the suspicion of a ‘lone wolf’ terror plot, the case has since been handed over to the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) for further investigation.
