NIA drops UAPA against American, 6 Ukrainians held in 'terror link' case
NEW DELHI: The NIA has not invoked the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) in its chargesheet against six Ukrainian nationals and a US citizen in a case registered under the anti-terror law in April. The chargesheet instead invokes sections 21 and 23 of the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025. NIA drops UAPA against American, 6 Ukrainians held in 'terror link' case.
Why it matters. This case highlights the shift in legal charges by central investigative agencies from stringent anti-terror laws to immigration violations.
