Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has said the Mira Road stabbing case appears to be an incident of self-radicalisation, influenced by online content, books and extremist material. The accused, identified as Jaib Zubair Ansari, allegedly attacked two security guards after questioning them about their religion near an under-construction site in Mira Road East. Central agencies, including the NIA and ATS, have joined the investigation to probe possible wider networks and digital influences. Police arrested the accused within 90 minutes based on CCTV footage. Officials are now analysing his online activity and background, including his time abroad, to determine whether he acted alone or was influenced by extremist ideology.
