Samples of food and water have been sent for testing, with results expected soon.

A man, identified as Zaib Zubair Ansari, allegedly attacked two security guards at a Mumbai construction site with a sharp weapon. Investigators are probing the incident as a possible lone wolf terror attack, with early findings pointing towards radicalization. Digital devices and notes referencing the Islamic State were recovered from his residence.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah said Indias anti-narcotics agencies have achieved a major breakthrough with the return of wanted drug trafficker Mohammad Salim Dola from Trkiye, reaffirming the governments zero tolerance policy against drug syndicates. In a post on X, Amit Shah said, Zero tolerance against narco syndicate our anti-narcotics agencies have extended their claws across borders through a robust network of global agencies. Now no matter where they hide, no place is safe for drug kingpins. The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), in coordination with international partners, secured Dolas return under Operation Global-Hunt. He was taken into custody upon arrival at Indira Gandhi International Airport early on Monday. Dola, a 59-year-old from Mumbai, was the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice issued at Indias request in March 2024 and had been absconding for years. He is wanted in multiple narcotics trafficking cases and is accused of running a transnational drug network spanning the Middle East, Africa and Europe. Officials said his two-decade-long criminal record includes involvement in major drug seizures involving heroin, charas, mephedrone, mandrax and methamphetamine, particularly in Maharashtra and Gujarat, where he allegedly acted as a bulk supplier to distribution networks. Dola is also wanted by Gujarat ATS and Mumbai Police. His son, Tahil Salim Dola, along with other associates, had earlier been arrested in 2025 after extradition from the UAE.
In Mira Road, the ATS is investigating a lone wolf attack where a man allegedly targeted two security guards based on their religion. The suspect, Zaib Zubair Ansari, reportedly asked one guard if he was Hindu before stabbing him, and then questioned another guard about reciting the 'kalma' before attacking him. The suspect was apprehended swiftly.
