The incident happened in Mira Road East, in Maharashtra’s Thane district, during the early hours of Sunday. Police say the attack was not random. Investigators believe the accused specifically targeted the guards after asking about their religion.
The case has now become a major security concern.
What happened that night?
According to police, the accused, Zaib Zubair Ansari, first approached the site at around 3 am.
He reportedly asked one of the guards for directions to a nearby mosque. After a brief conversation, he left. However, he remained in the area for some time, which raised suspicion.
Around 4.30 am, he returned.
This time, police say, he grabbed security guard Rajkumar Mishra and started asking personal questions, including his name, religion and whether he could recite the Kalima.
When Mishra said he was Hindu and could not recite it, Ansari allegedly attacked him with a knife.
