On August 12, 2026, a special NIA court in Mumbai denied bail and discharge petitions submitted by Shamil Nachan, son of terror convict Saquib Nachan. The court found that Shamil had allegedly concealed the existence of other pending petitions before the High Court. Shamil was apprehended in August 2023 by the NIA, suspected of having connections to an Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) module and a network that allegedly radicalized youth.
Both of Shamil's applications for bail and discharge were rejected by the special court on Wednesday.

The court emphasized that Shamil's attempt to hide this information constituted a fraudulent act, casting doubt on his credibility.
