Saquib Nachan, the suspected ISIS India chief, passed away in a Delhi hospital following a sudden brain haemorrhage, marking a significant development in India’s anti-terror investigations.

He had been under close observation by central agencies and was facing interrogation in multiple terror-related cases. His unexpected demise puts a pause on ongoing inquiries into his alleged role in radicalization and terror financing across Indian states.

According to hospital sources, Nachan was admitted after collapsing due to a severe brain haemorrhage. Despite emergency medical intervention, he succumbed to the condition late last night. Authorities have confirmed that no foul play is suspected in the immediate cause of death, but internal investigations will continue into the broader implications of his activities.

Nachan had a controversial past, previously convicted in the 2002 Mumbai blast case. He later came under the scanner of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for allegedly reviving ISIS’s influence in India, especially among youth via encrypted communication platforms and propaganda networks.

Security agencies are now reviewing intelligence gathered from his devices and communication history to determine if further threats or operatives remain active under his command. His death may lead to a temporary lull in ISIS-related movements in India, but officials stress the need for vigilance and continued surveillance
