After initially remaining untraceable, both the accused had obtained anticipatory bail from a court here. However, both of them violated bail conditions and fled to Dubai. Adil Sheikh, who was arrested by the police at Mumbai airport on August 8, 2016, had succeeded in obtaining bail in the court here again. As the accused remained elusive and failed to appear for court proceedings thereafter, a non-bailable arrest warrant had been issued against him.

Adil Sheikh is still elusive.

Case will come up for hearing on Janauary 13.
