Brother of Briton held in India says UK government is ‘more talk and no action’

Jagtar Singh Johal , 36 , claims to have been tortured and forced to make a confession.

He faces terrorism charges and the first stages of his trial have only just got under way.

He denies the charges, and he could face a death sentence if convicted.

More than 70 MPs had called on Sunak before the G20 summit to request Johal’s release.

A UK government spokesperson said: “The UK government is committed to seeing Jagtar Singh Johal’s case resolved as soon as possible. We continue to provide consular assistance to Mr Johal and his family and have consistently raised his case directly with the government of India .”.
