Thane, Apr 28 A court in Maharashtra's Thane district on Tuesday remanded Zaib Zubair Ansari, arrested for allegedly stabbing two security guards after asking their religion, to the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) custody till May 4.


Ansari was produced before a court in Bhayander following his arrest by the Mira-Bhayander, Vasai-Virar (MBVV) Police, an official said.


The case, initially registered at the Nayanagar police station, was transferred to the Maharashtra ATS due to the "sensitivity and seriousness" of the incident.


Ansari allegedly asked two guards at an under-construction building site in the Mira Road area to recite the 'Kalma' before stabbing them early on Monday, officials had said.


Investigators have found a note referring to 'lone wolf' attacks and the Islamic State at the house of Ansari, they added.
