Dumbarton man Jagtar Johal Singh facing death penalty in India as calls made for his release

The family of a Dumbarton man facing the death penalty in India have been given the full support of local councillors as they call for his release.

Jagtar Singh Johal has been arbitrarily detained since 2017, when his family say he was forced into an unmarked car before being tortured. In May, he was formally charged with conspiracy to commit murder and being a member of a terrorist gang.

He will be presented with a full list of the charges against him next month and faces a possible death penalty.
