Jagtar Singh Johal, a British Sikh activist, has been granted bail by a Delhi court after nearly nine years in detention without conviction. Johal was arrested in 2017 in India following his participation in a wedding in Punjab, where he was accused of alleged terrorism offences, including funding the Khalistan Liberation Force, a group linked to targeted killings in Punjab. The Delhi court's decision marks a significant development in his long-standing legal case. According to The Guardian, the charges against Johal relate to his alleged involvement with the Khalistan Liberation Force. Meanwhile, Deutsche Welle reported that the news of Johal's bail was accompanied by other updates from India, including a change in the male flagbearer for the Asian Games opening ceremony due to a missing kit. No details were provided about the charges or the court's reasoning for granting bail.
