On April 27, a knife attack in Mira Road, Mumbai, left two security guards, Subrata Sen and Rajkumar Mishra, injured. The accused, Zaib Zubair Ansari (31), was arrested within one-and-a-half hours of the attack. The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) is investigating the incident as a potential 'lone wolf' terror attack, given Ansari's actions post-attack. Reports suggest that he returned home, washed the knife, changed his clothes, and donned black attire, which may indicate links to radical ideology, particularly associated with the terrorist organization ISIS. Furthermore, officials believe Ansari intended to record a video claiming responsibility, a common practice among lone wolf attackers. Evidence, including a knife and blood-stained clothing, was recovered from his residence, and authorities noted that he formatted his mobile phone before arrest, possibly to destroy evidence.
