British man ‘tortured to sign blank confession’ in India – BBC News


A Scottish man who has been held in an Indian jail without conviction for three years has told the BBC he was tortured to sign a blank confession.

Jagtar Singh Johal, from Dumbarton, is being held under India’s anti-terror laws, accused of conspiring to murder a number of right-wing Hindu leaders.

Court documents allege he helped fund the crimes and claim he was a member of a "terrorist gang".

Mr Johal told the BBC via his lawyer he had been "falsely implicated".
