A Delhi court has permitted American national Matthew Aaron VanDyke and six Ukrainian nationals to remain outside India until February 24, 2027, in connection with the Myanmar arms training case.
Special Judge Prashant Sharma of the Patiala House Court passed the order on Friday after considering applications filed by the seven accused seeking an extension of their overseas stay. The proceedings were held in camera, meaning they took place privately rather than in an open courtroom.
VanDyke and the six Ukrainian nationals were arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) earlier in 2026 in connection with the case involving alleged arms training linked to Myanmar.
According to the available report, VanDyke appeared before the court in person, while the six Ukrainian nationals participated through video conferencing, citing health concerns.
The court’s decision allows all seven individuals to remain abroad until the specified date while the case continues. The order concerns their overseas stay and does not, by itself, determine the outcome of the criminal proceedings.
The case has drawn attention because it involves foreign nationals, alleged arms training and the NIA’s investigation into activities connected with Myanmar.
The latest development marks a procedural step in the ongoing legal matter. However, the information available in the report does not provide further details about the specific allegations against each accused, the evidence presented to the court or the conditions attached to the extension.
The proceedings remain part of the broader legal process, and further developments will depend on subsequent court orders and the progress of the case.
