Delhi Court Permits US, Ukrainian Nationals in NIA Case to Travel Home for One Month
A Delhi court allowed US national Matthew VanDyke and six Ukrainian nationals, arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in March for alleged links to ethnic armed groups in Myanmar, to travel to their home countries for one month. The court granted default bail after the NIA charged them under immigration laws, dropping initial terrorism-related UAPA charges. Congress criticized the government, alleging US pressure influenced the release and questioned visa issuance and national security. The NIA investigation into terrorism allegations continues.
