Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday said that the recent attack in Mira Road appears to be a case of self-radicalisation, based on preliminary findings. The incident, which occurred on April 27 in Mumbai’s Mira Road area, is being treated by security agencies as a suspected lone-wolf terror act, reported ANI.

According to the Chief Minister’s office, investigators recovered books and other incriminating material from the accused’s residence. Fadnavis stated that the suspect had previously lived in the United States and had recently returned to India. Early inputs suggest that the individual may have been influenced by extremist ideology and acted independently, reported ANI.
