According to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), the accused had illegally crossed into Myanmar through India with the intent of training ethnic armed groups in the neighbouring country, as well as certain banned organisations operating within India.

Officials probing the case revealed that an examination of VanDyke’s social media activity and mobile phone data has uncovered potential links to multiple international conflict zones and military operations. Investigators are now working to determine how he managed to access India’s sensitive northeastern region and what his precise objectives were.
Meanwhile, the Embassy of the United States, New Delhi has acknowledged awareness of the situation but declined to provide further details, citing the sensitivity of the matter.
Authorities continue to investigate the broader network and possible international connections, with the case raising serious concerns about cross-border movements and security threats.
