Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh): Syed Abdul Karim alias Tunda, one of India's most-wanted terrorists and mastermind of over 40 bombings in the country, underwent cataract surgery at MMG District Hospital on Wednesday.

He was one of the 20 terrorists India had asked Pakistan to hand over after the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.

"Tunda was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday," SP (city) Shlok Kumar said.

Tunda, who is lodged in the Dasna jail in Ghaziabad, was admitted in a private ward of the hospital by the prison administration in compliance with court orders.

"Police personnel and a platoon of Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) have been deployed inside and outside the district hospital," Kumar said.

Tunda, suspected LeT bomb expert, was arrested from the Indo-Nepal border at Banbasa on August 16, 2013. He is also suspected of involvement in some other blast cases across the country, some of which are still pending.
