Overview
- The ATS, which on Monday secured an eight-day remand to May 11, told the Thane special court it has charged Zaib Zubair Ansari under Section 16 of the UAPA.
- Police say he stabbed two security guards at a Mira Road construction site on April 27 after asking their religion.
- Investigators say he wiped his phone and laptop before seizure, and they are analyzing forensic mirror images and taking handwriting samples to link ISIS-referencing notes found at his home.
- The probe is examining possible links abroad, including whether his US-based ex-wife of Afghan origin influenced him and whether he tried to sway students he taught online in the UAE.
- His lawyer says he has schizophrenia and sought a psychological assessment, prompting the judge to order a medical evaluation during custody.
