MPs urge David Lammy to intervene as British man remains in jail in India

Justice for Jagtar Singh Johal has been delayed once again as his bail was deferred by India’s Supreme Court, sparking demands from MPs in the UK for urgent diplomatic action. Despite being acquitted seven years ago, he remains indefinitely detained under the same charges, with calls arising from international human rights groups to secure his release and challenge the principle of double jeopardy.
