US National Matthew VanDyke Returns to India Amid Ongoing Myanmar Training Case
US national Matthew Aaron VanDyke returned to India and appeared before a Delhi court after a month-long visit to the US, complying with court orders in a case involving alleged drone warfare training for ethnic armed groups in Myanmar. VanDyke and six Ukrainian nationals were arrested in March for illegal entry and training activities but were granted default bail after the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act charges were dropped. The court has extended permission for them to stay outside India until February 24, 2027, as the National Investigation Agency continues its probe.
