A Delhi court has remanded seven foreigners for 11 days of National Investigation Agency (NIA) custody. The seven foreigners include, three Ukrainians, who were arrested from Delhi, three from Lucknow and one US citizen from Kolkata. Additional Sessions Judge Prshant Sharma conducted the hearing in a closed courtroom.

The NIA had sought 15 days’ custody to investigate the case. It is alleged that these foreigners came to India on a visa and then entered Mizoram, which is a protected area. Thereafter, they entered Myanmar and contacted ethnic war groups.

NIA has alleged that they were trained in Myanmar and were training ethnic war groups. These groups are associated with insurgent groups in India. It is also alleged that they brought a huge consignment of drones from Europe.
