Delhi Court Grants Default Bail to US National in NIA Terror Training Case
A Delhi court granted default bail to US national Matthew Aaron Van Dyke in a case investigated by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) involving alleged illegal entry and drone training for ethnic armed groups linked to Myanmar. The NIA filed a chargesheet against Van Dyke and six Ukrainian nationals under the Immigration and Foreigners Act, omitting Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) provisions, though the terror-related probe continues. The court ordered Van Dyke to remain in Delhi and cooperate with the investigation, noting the co-accused may also seek bail.
