THE Supreme Court of India has granted bail in one of the cases against Jagtar Singh Johal in a “major breakthrough” six years after his arrest and torture.
However, the 36-year-old has remained in custody in India while his family have relentlessly campaigned for his release. Johal will not be released on bail as the ruling only applies to one out of nine cases currently against him. The judges responded:"We know how to keep foreign nationals safe in this country, don't worry. Dismissed".
“There is still much work to do, to get Jagtar home where he belongs, around the dinner table with us in Dumbarton, but today I feel more hopeful than I have in a very long time.”
