'I can't eat Tihar jail food': Foreign national arrested after allegedly entering India through the Mizoram border wants pasta, olive oil instead; asks court to let him cook

American national Matthew Aaron VanDyke, arrested by the NIA in the Myanmar terror training case and lodged in Tihar Jail, has moved a Delhi court seeking permission to prepare his own meals.
