2 min readMumbaiFeb 24, 2026 09:58 AM IST More than 19 years after his arrest, the Bombay High Court on Monday granted bail to Faisal Ataur Rahman Shaikh, who was serving a life sentence in the 2006 Aurangabad arms haul case. Shaikh had remained behind bars despite being acquitted last year in the 2006 Mumbai train blasts case, after the High Court set aside the 2015 special court verdict that had awarded him and four others the death penalty and sentenced seven others to life imprisonment. He could not be released as he had not secured relief in the Aurangabad arms haul case. A division bench of Justices Bharati H Dangre and Manjusha A Deshpande allowed Shaikh’s plea seeking bail pending the hearing and final disposal of his appeal against conviction in the arms haul case. The detailed order is awaited. In July 2016, a special court had convicted 12 men in the Aurangabad arms seizure case, sentencing seven, including 26/11 attacks plotter Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal, to life imprisonment till death.

For three hours on Sunday, the iconic cricket stadium here turned into a football coliseum. As is always the case on match days, Wankhede Stadium was blue, but today the shade was lighter, the one associated with Argentine footballers.

Beside him were his club teammates Rodrigo de Paul and Luis Suárez. But all eyes were on Messi as cameras kept flashing where the star ventured. Shy as ever, the 5’7” icon smiled and waved. He would also enthusiastically participate in a kick-around with a group of …
