Condition of alleged ISIS operative critical, says lawyer; shifted to Safdarjung Hospital for better treatment
MUMBAI: Alleged Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) operative Saquib Abdul Hamid Nachan, who was convicted earlier for his role in the 2002-03 blasts in Mumbai, suffered a brain stroke in the early hours on Monday and is currently on ventilator support, sources in the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) told Hindustan Times.
"After he suffered a stroke on Monday, Tihar jail authorities admitted him at the Deendayal Upadhyay Hospital in Delhi and his family was informed," an NIA officer told HT.
Nachan, 67, was lodged in Tihar jail after he was arrested on December 9, 2023 by the NIA along with 15 other alleged ISIS operatives in Maharashtra.
His lawyer Samsher Ansari, who rushed to Delhi on Monday along with Nachan's son Aquit, confirmed that his client had suffered a brain stroke and his condition was critical. After his health deteriorated on Wednesday morning, he was shifted to the multispeciality Safdarjung Hospital, Ansari said.
