NIA Court Rejects Shamil Nachan's Bail, Cites Suppression of Facts
Shamil Nachan is a man in India who officials suspect was connected to a dangerous group called ISIS.
He was arrested in August 2023 by a special agency called the NIA.
The NIA believed he was part of a network that was trying to radicalise young people.
Later, Shamil asked a special court in Mumbai to let him go free, which is called bail.
He also asked the court to drop the case against him completely.
The judge, Chakor Baviskar, said no to both requests.
The reason was that Shamil had already asked a higher court, called the High Court, for the same things, but he did not tell the special court about it.
The judge said hiding that information was like trying to trick the court.
He also said Shamil's honesty was not clear.
Shamil is the son of Saquib Nachan, who is also a terror convict.
The special NIA court in Mumbai rejected Shamil Nachan's bail and discharge applications.
Shamil, son of terror convict Saquib Nachan, was arrested in August 2023 by the NIA over alleged ISIS module links.
The court noted that Shamil had similar petitions pending before the High Court that he did not disclose.
Special Judge Chakor Baviskar said the suppression of material facts amounted to an attempt to play fraud on the court.
The court observed that Shamil's bona fides were not clear while rejecting the pleas.

Quotes
Judge Chakor Baviskar
Special NIA court judge
“"Apart from creating the possibility of conflicting orders, by not voluntarily disclosing the filing of the proceeding in the High Court and rather by suppressing the material facts, the applicant-accused Shamil has axiomatically attempted to play fraud on the Court. At least his bona fides are not clear."”
