The others include Maryam Namazie, Zafar Heretic, Harris Sultan, Adam Seeker, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali among others.In February, two Muslim men stabbed Ghaziabad-based Ex-Muslim Saleem Wastik in the neck and abdomen repeatedly inside his office. Saleem Wastik battled for life in hospital and survived.

Both died in hospital.Referring to the attack, Sahil said, "The attackers will not be spared.
The treatment that was given to the attackers of Saleem Wastik sahab should be given to these people too. They would have killed me had I not managed to escape."In October, Sahil said he had given up his activism and was returning to Islam, adding that he wasn't returning to Islam because of any "spiritual awakening", and wouldn't start defending the faith."Meri jaan mujhe hamesha k liye chhodkar chali gayi," Sahil posted on October 1, 2025, sharing a photo with his mother.
A day earlier, he posted a message on his YouTube channel: "Maa ki akhri tamanna thi Dharavi Qabrastan me he dafan karna, us farz ko bhi pura kar diya".He said that his mother wanted to be laid to rest at the Dharavi cemetery, and that he had fulfilled that wish of hers. According to chatter in the Ex-Muslim space, Sahil lost his mother, and returned to the faith to bury her as a Muslim, thus fulfilling her last wishes.But the attack on Sahil shows how the threat to those who leave the faith is persistent."Ab Sahil nahi rukega.
Islam ki haqueeqat logo ko batayega (Sahil won't stop now, he will reveal the facts of Islam)," Sahil said in the live video.- Ends(Written by Yudhajit Shankar Das)
