53-year-old Radhakrishnan was taken into custody at the Grand Forks International Airport by police for allegedly making a bomb threat at an airport as he told a travel agent that there was an explosive in his bag. He faces terrorism charges.
Congress chief Sonia Gandhi’s political secretary Ahmed Patel also sought Swaraj’s intervention for the release of Radhakrishnan.
