The court’s decision lets Matthew VanDyke and six Ukrainians stay abroad while India’s NIA probes alleged arms training for Myanmar’s ethnic armed groups, affecting regional security and legal accountability.
A Delhi court extended until February 24 permission for US national Matthew VanDyke and six Ukrainians to remain abroad while the NIA investigates allegations that they trained ethnic armed groups in Myanmar. VanDyke, who received default bail in September, was also allowed to return to the US.
The NIA is India’s federal investigative agency that handles serious crimes, including cross‑border terrorism; training ethnic armed groups in Myanmar is a concern because it can fuel conflict and destabilize the region.
