India, April 11 -- A special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court on Friday sent the 26/11 Mumbai attacks accused Tahawwur Rana to 18-day custody, hours after he arrived in India following his extradition from the US.

Rana landed in New Delhi on Thursday evening on a special flight and was arrested by the probe agency upon his arrival.

"Rana was being held in judicial custody in the US pursuant to proceedings initiated under the India-US Extradition Treaty for his extradition. The extradition finally came through after Rana exhausted all legal avenues to stay the move," the NIA said in a statement.

According to reports, a dummy code was used for the Gulfstream G550 jet that brought Rana to India.
