Scottish Sikh activist Jagtar Singh Johal has been freed on bail in India after spending nine years in prison. Mr Johal, who is from Dumbarton, was arrested in 2017 in connection with alleged terror offences.
His release marks a significant development in a case that has kept the Scottish Sikh activist in detention since his arrest. The available information does not provide details of the bail conditions, the court involved or the next stage of the legal proceedings.
Mr Johal’s case concerns allegations of terror-related offences, which remain allegations rather than established findings. No further information has been provided about the specific accusations or the evidence connected to them.
The latest known position is that Mr Johal has been released on bail following nine years in an Indian prison. His legal situation remains ongoing, with further developments expected through the Indian court process.
