Jagtar Singh Johal
BRITAIN’S intelligence agencies supplied information to Indian authorities that led to the abduction and torture of a Scottish Sikh, his lawyers said yesterday.
Jagtar Singh Johal, from Dumbarton, was in Punjab in northern India for his wedding in 2017 when his family say he was arrested, had a sack placed over his head and was bundled into an unmarked car.
The 35-year-old said he has been subjected to torture, including electric shocks to his nipples and genitals, and faces the death penalty over his activism and campaigning for Sikh human rights.
