Delhi High Court Grants Bail to British National Jagtar Singh Johal in Seven NIA Cases
The Delhi High Court granted bail to British national Jagtar Singh Johal in seven cases investigated by the National Investigation Agency related to alleged targeted killings in Punjab. Johal, who was arrested in 2017 and had spent over eight years in custody, was released under strict conditions including surrendering his passport, restrictions on communication, and regular reporting to authorities. The court noted that trials were unlikely to conclude soon, prompting the bail decision after earlier denials and Supreme Court directions for reconsideration.
