Postmortem: Mumbai knife attack and the shadow of radicalisation among youths

This edition of Postmortem turns the spotlight on crimes that both shock and compel closer scrutiny, unpacking not just the act but the larger patterns behind it. In today's episode, the focus is on a chilling knife attack in Mumbai, where a man allegedly carried out a violent assault while claiming links with ISIS. The incident has raised fresh concerns about the persistence of extremist influence and the vulnerability of individuals to radical ideologies. The episode goes beyond the crime itself, examining the broader trend of radicalisation among young men. It explores how online propaganda, social isolation, and ideological manipulation can create pathways that lead individuals towards extremism. Postmortem also takes a closer look at how law enforcement agencies across India track and respond to such threats. From intelligence gathering to coordinated surveillance networks, the programme highlights the mechanisms used by police to identify early signs of radicalisation and intervene before violence unfolds.
