IndiaThe National Investigation Agency (NIA) in India has filed a chargesheet against seven foreign nationals, six Ukrainians and one American, who were arrested in March for alleged ties to ethnic armed groups in Myanmar hostile to India. While they were initially detained under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), the chargesheet does not invoke the anti-terror law. Instead, they are charged with illegal entry, stay, and movement in India under the 2025 Immigration and Foreigners Act. The suspects are accused of supplying weapons and training to Myanmar-based armed groups, entering India without proper permits, and receiving drone deliveries from Europe. The NIA stated that while the current chargesheet does not include UAPA offenses, further investigations may lead to additional charges.
