Chandigarh, November 22
Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh today rejected as "baseless" allegations that British citizen Jagtar Singh Johal alias Jaggi, an accused in the cases of targeted killings, was tortured by the Punjab Police.
The case of Scottish-born Johal was raised in the House of Commons yesterday following reports of his alleged "torture" in custody.
The CM said due process of law was being followed in the case. "The accused was not tortured," he said, adding that no unlawful method would be adopted during interrogation.— PTI
