:dateline:Scottish Sikh citizen Jagtar Singh @ Jaggi Johal, who has been accused of financing the murders of RSS leaders in Punjab, was reportedly granted bail by the Faridkot Court on January 15 in a case registered in the Police Station of Bajakhana under FIR No. 163/2017 under several sections of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) and the Arms Act.
Sharing the development with media on January 17, Advocate Jaspal Singh Manjhpur informed that the Court of Judicial Magistrate Chetan Sharma granted bail to Jagtar Singh @ Jaggi Johal and Taljeet Singh @ Jimmy on January 15. He added that the duo have been asked to furnish bail bonds.
Advocate Manjhpur further informed that Taljeet Singh @ Jimmy might get released in coming days, however the release of Jagtar Singh @ Jaggi Johal is not possible because of six other cases pending against him.
Advocate Manjhpur also made it clear that the NIA has still not formally arrested Jaggi Johal in some cases so that these cases could be used to bar release of Jaggi Johal if he succeeds in getting bail in under-trial cases against him.
IMPORTANT UPDATE IN REGARDS TO JAGGI BAILAs many of you may have seen or read, Jaggi was granted bail in the case pertaining to Faridkot. The judge has set conditions which must be complied with in order to finalise and complete the bail process.Advocate Jaspal Singh Manjhpur explains the exact conditions and the impact of this on Jaggi and others who have also been granted bail. We can confirm that Jaggi will still be detained in Nabha maximum security prison until he has been granted bail in all of the cases against him. In order to be released from prison on bail, Jaggi still has to be granted bail in 6 NIA cases and another case by Punjab police which was registered at Bagha Purana court in Moga.However, there are 2 further cases which Advocate Manjhpur believes Jaggi is to be formally arrested in which will further delay any release on bail. In order to be released on bail Jaggi must be granted bail in all cases in which he has been formally arrested and cannot be conditionally released before then.#FreeJaggiNow
