Delhi Court Permits US, Ukrainian Nationals in NIA Case to Travel Home for One Month
A Delhi court allowed US national Matthew Aaron VanDyke and six Ukrainian nationals, arrested in March for alleged links to ethnic armed groups in Myanmar, to travel to their home countries for one month to meet their families. The court released their passports and granted default bail after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) charged them only with immigration offences, dropping earlier Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) charges. The accused must comply with conditions including informing the NIA of their whereabouts and returning to India after the travel period.
