In the early hours of Monday, a stabbing incident at an under-construction site in Nayanagar, Mira Road East, Maharashtra, left security guard Rajkumar Mishra with serious injuries and Subroto Sen with minor injuries. Eyewitness Hari Singh, who was present during the attack, described a tense encounter with the suspect, Zaib Zubair Ansari, who asked him, 'Are you Hindu?' before cleaning blood from his hands and leaving the scene.
