British Sikh activist Jagtar Singh Johal, jailed in India since 2017, faces ongoing federal charges despite acquittal on terror funding; UK urges India to investigate torture claims and return seized personal items.
Jagtar Singh Johal, a British Sikh activist, has been imprisoned in India for eight years since his 2017 arrest weeks after his wedding.
Though acquitted of terror funding charges at the state level, he still faces federal charges deemed by his supporters and the UN as politically motivated and repetitive.
He alleges torture and claims personal items, including a wedding ring and a £12,000 gold chain from his mother, were seized and never returned, with Punjab police admitting they cannot locate them.
The UK government, including Prime Minister Keir Starmer, has repeatedly urged India for progress and an investigation into his torture claims, while his family expresses deep distress and calls for stronger action.
The case remains unresolved.
