Details

The arrest of Jagtar Singh Johal is an ongoing detainment that began in November 2017 in Punjab, India. According to the human rights organisation Reprieve, UK spy agencies tipped off their Indian counterparts about a key man, "Johal", who was in India. Johal was arrested based on allegations that he was involved in the assassinations of religious and political figures and that he was a member of the Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF). His legal team and supporters claim Johal was tortured and forced to sign a false confession shortly after his arrest, a claim that Indian authorities deny. Johal is facing the death penalty based on these allegations but his case has been characterized by delays. On 4 March 2025, Johal was acquitted of terror charges by a verdict in the District Court in Moga, Punjab after seven years of detainment in India, although other charges still remain.
