A Scot who allegedly had his genitals electrocuted while being tortured by police has been moved to a jail until the end of the month.

Jagtar Singh Johal, who has lived in Dumbarton, West Dunbartonshire, for 15 years, was detained in police custody in Jalandhar in the state of Punjab on November 4.

The Sikh Federation UK said no official charges have yet appeared but local media reported Mr Johal's arrest was linked to the killing of Hindu leaders in Punjab.

Mr Johal is also said to have had his nipples and earlobes electrocuted during the ordeal.

He has now been remanded in a jail until November 30 after appearing in court on Friday.

STV News understands Mr Johal has not been given any fresh clothing and has had his cards taken away from him.

Hundreds of Sikhs held a demonstration outside the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in London on Thursday in support of Mr Johal.

The FCO said it has met Mr Johal and also met his family to update them, as well as confirming the 30-year-old had access to a lawyer.

A spokesman said: "Our consular staff in New Delhi have visited a British man who has been detained in Punjab.

"We have met his family to update them, and have confirmed that he now has access to his lawyer.

"We take all allegations or concerns of torture and mistreatment very seriously and will follow up with action as appropriate.

"When considering how to act, we will avoid any action that might put the individual in question or any other person that may be affected at risk."
