CCTV footage of Mira Road attacker NEW DELHI: “I’m going to die! I’m going to die! Please save me!” Caught between life and death, Rajesh Mishra cried out over the phone, his voice strained, as an attacker kept flailing a knife at him.Rajesh Mishra, a supervisor, was trying to reach out to Subroto Sen, a guard who himself had escaped the same fatal knife attack that was being carried out by Zaib Zuber Ansari.Wounded Subroto Sen had rushed to the back of the building and waited in distress for what appered to be the tragedy to pass.Narrating to the police the sequence of events from the horrifying night in Mumbai’s Mira Road that left him and his supervisor seriously injured, Subroto Sen claimed Zaib Zuber Ansari, 31, had approched him hours before he came with an intent to kill.”He asked, ‘Is there a mosque ahead?’ I replied, ‘Yes, there is a mosque ahead on the right side.’ He then asked, ‘What is the name of the mosque?’ I told him, ‘I do not know the name of the mosque.’ Zuber then asked, ‘Are you a Hindu?’ I answered ‘yes’,” Sen stated, according to news agency IANS. He said the accused initially walked away. But hours later, around 4 am, when Subroto stepped out to a tea stall, he spotted Zuber there again.By 4.30 am, as he returned to his duty post, a sense of unease set in. Zuber was following him!Before he could react, the accused allegedly pulled out a knife, grabbed Subroto by the arm, and lunged. Subroto tried to fight back, but not before suffering a knife injury.In a desperate bid to escape, he pushed the attacker away and ran towards his supervisor Rajkumar Mishra’s cabin.”However, Zuber entered the cabin as well. Mishra was seated on a chair inside. Before I could explain the situation or he could comprehend what was happening, Zuber — upon seeing Mishra — immediately demanded, ‘You are a Hindu too, aren’t you? If not, recite the Kalma’. Mishra was unable to recite the Kalma. Following this, Zuber began repeatedly stabbing him with the knife. Being seated in the chair, Mishra was unable to defend himself effectively,” Subroto said.Fearing for his life, Subroto fled towards the back of the building. After some time, when the situation appeared to calm down, he called Mishra’s mobile phone. Mishra answered and, in distress, pleaded, “I’m going to die! I’m going to die! Please save me!”According to police officials, the accused approached the guards stationed at an under-construction building near Wockhardt Hospital in the early hours of Monday, around 4.00 am. He reportedly asked them to recite the Kalma, an important Islamic declaration of faith, before launching the attack.Ansari has been taken into custody in connection with the attack, during which he allegedly questioned the victims about their religious identity before assaulting them with a knife, in what investigators suspect could be a lone wolf-style incident by a radicalised individual.The victims, Rajkumar Mishra and Subroto Sen, suffered serious injuries and were admitted to a nearby hospital for treatment. Mishra managed to reach the hospital on his own despite his condition, while Sen was helped by a local resident, Nayab Sheikh.Police moved swiftly after the attack, scanning CCTV footage from the area to trace the suspect. Ansari was tracked down and apprehended within roughly 90 minutes. He was later taken to Naya Nagar Police Station, where a case was registered against him under charges including attempted murder and promoting enmity between communities.Following his arrest, Ansari was produced before a court in Thane, which remanded him to police custody until May 4.The probe has since widened, with local police working alongside the state Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS). Investigators are examining electronic devices seized from the accused to establish whether the attack was an isolated act or part of a larger design.Preliminary findings, point to notes containing references such as “ISIS”, “lone wolf”, “jihad”, and “Gaza”, reported IANS.The agency also claimed Ansari had spent several years in the United States, where members of his family continue to reside. He reportedly returned to India after failing to secure stable employment.Back in India, he lived alone in Mira Road and earned a living by taking online chemistry classes.Investigators suspect he may have been radicalised through material accessed online.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

“INDIA bloc parties insulted Nari Shakti in Lok Sabha”: Uttarakhand CM Dhami slams Opposition during one-day Assembly Session NEW DELHI: Uttarakhand chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Tuesday slammed the Congress and INDIA bloc parties during the one-day session of the Legislative Assembly, accusing the Opposition of “insulting women”.Uttarakhand Assembly has convened a special session to focus on a discussion titled ‘Nari Samman, Loktantra mein Adhikar’.Addressing the Assembly, Pushkar Singh Dhami invoked Ramayana and said, “Leaders of parties like Congress, SP, TMC and DMK insulted ‘Nari Shakti’. Hearing the manner in which all INDI alliance leaders were speaking in the Lok Sabha, I could sense arrogance similar to that of Lankapati Ravan. But perhaps our Congress leaders forgot that the end of arrogant Ravan came due to insulting Mata Sita.”Ahead of the session, CM Dhami urged the Opposition MLAs to support the call for women’s reservation.Addressing a press conference in Dehradun, he said, “Today, a special session has been called. Under the leadership of PM Modi, the Nari Shakti Vandan Bill was passed in 2023, and it was to be implemented in the country by 2029. Whatever happened in the Parliament of the country was witnessed by everyone. The path of progress of women was blocked, and I believe that we have gathered here today to discuss this issue. In Uttarakhand, I feel that our colleagues from the opposition should also support this and present their views in the session in a very cordial manner.”Earlier today, Leader of Opposition and Congress MLA Yashpal Arya underscored the need for greater representation of women in legislatures. Speaking to ANI, Arya highlighted the significance of the Women’s Reservation Bill and reiterated his party’s support for its implementation.”In 2023, the Women’s Reservation Bill was passed, advocating for 33 per cent reservation for women in both the Lok Sabha and state legislatures. Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, have unanimously supported this Bill,” he said.Arya further stated, “We want the same for the coming Uttarakhand Assembly elections in 2027, but the central government is delaying the implementation of the Bill.”The special session comes in the backdrop of national-level discussions on the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill related to women’s reservation and delimitation, which was taken up in the Lok Sabha on April 17.In the division that took place on the Constitution Amendment Bill, 298 members voted in favour and 230 against. With the Constitution Amendment Bill defeated, the government later said it did not want to pursue the Delimitation Bill and the Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill, which were taken up together for discussion.The Bills aimed to increase the strength of the Lok Sabha from 543 to 816, with 33 per cent reservation for women. The delimitation was to be carried out based on the 2011 census.Opposition parties expressed support for women’s reservation but were against the Delimitation Bill. They had called upon the government to implement the women’s reservation in the existing strength of the Lok Sabha.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosSwati Maliwal’s Explosive Exit: Assault Allegations, ‘Betrayal’ Charges Rock AAP As She Joins BJPIndian Aviation Sector Warns Of Possible Shutdown Amid Soaring Fuel CostsUNGA Chief Hails India’s Global Role, Calls India’s Leadership Central To MultilateralismIndia To Receive Fourth Unit Of S-400 Missile Systems From Russia, To Be Deployed In RajasthanISRO-s Big Shift- Civilians To Join Gaganyaan Missions – India-s Space Programme Expands”Online Radicalisation Led To…” Maharashtra CM On ISIS-Inspired AttackIndia’s Defence Spending Hits Bn, Becomes World’s 5th Largest Amid Global Military SurgeIs Rafale deal with France stuck?
