Delhi court permits U.S., Ukrainian nationals in NIA case to travel home for a month

A Delhi court on Thursday (September 24, 2026) permitted a U.S. national and six Ukrainian nationals, held by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in a terror case, to travel to their respective countries for one month.

Special Judge Prashant Sharma of the Rouse Avenue Court permitted U.S. national Matthew Aaron van Dyke to travel to his country while Hurba Petro, Slyviak Taras, Ivan Sukmanovsky, Stefankiv Marian, Honcharuk Maksim alias Maksym, and Kaminskyi Viktor were allowed to travel to Ukraine.

The accused had sought permission to leave India to meet their families, stating that they had not seen them for nearly 10 months. While they had requested permission to remain abroad for six weeks, the court restricted the period to one month, to be calculated from the date of their departure.
