On this episode of the HT Podcast, Shashank Mattoo sat down with Georgetown Professor Sean McFate to discuss the case of Matthew Van Dyke, the US national arrested by the NIA in Kolkata. With allegations and concerns of foreign espionage in India’s neighbourhood rising, McFate said that VanDyke was likely not a spy but rather a vigilante and a “loose cannon”. McFate also spoke about the potential impact the case could have on US-India relations.
