Campaigners for a Scottish man arrested in India say he has been tortured by police.
Jagtar Singh Johal from Dumbarton, West Dunbartonshire, was detained 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.
The group said the 30-year-old should be enjoying married life but "finds himself the subject of some sort of conspiracy hatched by the Punjab police and leading politicians".
Mr Johal, who got married in India in October, has told lawyers he has been tortured with "body separation techniques and electrocution to body parts".
