UK intelligence agencies are accused of tipping off Indian authorities before Jagtar Singh Johal's detention.
"It's disappointing if Boris Johnson and Theresa May were involved, given they have raised it to the highest level. Was that all just lip service that they were providing to the family, knowing that they were involved?
"Our family are scared now that Jagtar might be falsely convicted and hang. This is the reality of the consequences of what the British government has done.Gurpeet Johal said the last time he spoke to his brother was in March and it was very brief.Jagtar Singh Johal arrives at court in India in November 2017
"If proven, these allegations risk destroying whatever confidence Britain's Sikh, and other minority populations, had in the security services, and, by extension, calls into question what value the UK government saw in this shadowy transaction. Alistair Carmichael, Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman, said: "These allegations are extremely serious and very alarming. No-one - especially not a British citizen - should ever face torture or execution as a result of information shared by the UK's intelligence services.
