Delhi HC grants bail to UK national Jagtar Singh Johal in 7 NIA cases after 8 years in custody

The Delhi High Court granted bail to UK national Jagtar Singh Johal in seven cases under investigation by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), after he had been in custody for over eight years.

The court also restricted Johal from making public statements related to the cases, joining anti-national groups, or engaging in activities that could affect the trial's integrity.
