Delhi Court Extends Overseas Stay for US National VanDyke and Six Ukrainians in Myanmar Training Case
US national Matthew Aaron VanDyke, arrested in March 2026 alongside six Ukrainian nationals for allegedly training ethnic armed groups in Myanmar, has returned to India after a month-long visit to the US. The Delhi court granted him default bail after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) dropped Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act charges, proceeding under the Immigration and Foreigners Act instead. The court extended permission for VanDyke and the Ukrainians to stay abroad until February 24, 2027, as the NIA continues its investigation. VanDyke appeared before the court as required and sought the release of his seized personal items, while the Ukrainians remain abroad citing health reasons.
