Watchman Subroto Ramesh Sen, who was among the two victims stabbed by Jaib Zubair Ansari in Mira Road, said the accused asked him about a nearby mosque. During the conversation, Ansari asked him, "Are you a Hindu?" and then walked away, but continued lingering in the area. Ansari, a US returnee, stabbed two watchmen after they failed to recite Kalma.
