A Delhi court extends permission for US national Matthew VanDyke and six Ukrainians to remain outside India until February 24, as India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) investigates allegations that they trained ethnic armed groups in Myanmar. The court also allows VanDyke to continue staying in the United States. The case involves claims that the group provided arms training linked to insurgent activity in Myanmar.
According to the reports, VanDyke had previously been granted default bail in September. The earlier stage of the proceedings included a period when the accused were allowed to stay abroad to meet their families, with prior permission ending in October. The latest court order renews their time away from India while the investigation continues.
The outlets largely agree on the key timeline: arrests in March, a permission window that earlier ran to late October, and the new extension through February 24. The main difference is the amount of procedural detail and hearing-related elements highlighted by each outlet.
