Humza Yousaf pledges to do 'everything he can' to bring home Scot detained in India
Humza Yousaf has pledged to do “everything he can” to bring home a Scot who has been detained for five years in an Indian jail.
Jagtar's brother, Gurpreet Singh Johal, who met with Yousaf, said: "I’m grateful that the First Minister took the time to meet me, so soon after getting the job. He’s been following Jagtar’s case for a long time, recognises he is arbitrarily detained and told me he’ll do everything he can to bring my brother home.
Following the meeting with Gurpreet, Yousaf said: “I know has been an extremely difficult and distressing time for Jagtar’s family, and their resilience in the face of this ordeal has been extraordinary.
