In a significant operation, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted a raid on Thursday at the residence of Shamil Nachan, son of Saquib Nachan, a former member of SIMI, an arrested accused in the Pune ISIS module case, located in Thane. The search yielded a trove of compelling materials that lay bare the sinister conspiracy of the terrorist organisation to disrupt the nation's peace and communal harmony.

Located in Padgha, Thane, the raided house of Shamil, a member of an ISIS Sleeper Cell, yielded a collection of mobile phones, hard disks, handwritten documents, and more. "These items are currently under examination and analysis. Shamil had previously been apprehended for his involvement in bomb (IED) assembly & training workshops and the creation and testing of improvised explosive devices (IEDs)," NIA has said.
