India drops UAPA terror charges against US, Ukrainian nationals, re-files under immigration law

India has withdrawn stringent anti-terror charges under the UAPA against seven foreign nationals (one American, six Ukrainians) arrested in March, re-filing charges under the Immigration and Foreigners Act. This marks a significant de-escalation in the legal treatment of the case, though the underlying circumstances of the arrests remain unclear. The move may signal a diplomatic or legal recalibration by Indian authorities.
