Scottish campaigner for Sikh rights Jagtar Singh Johal has been held by the Indian authorities since 2017.
Mr Johal, a 36 year-old campaigner for Sikh human rights, travelled to India in October 2017 to get married.
On the plane to Delhi, when asked if he would be raising the case, Mr Sunak had said: "I'll be raising a range of things with Prime Minister Modi - this is something that, just so people are reassured, has already been raised on multiple levels on multiple occasions." "Clearly, the prime minister had no option other than to raise Jagtar's case, after so many MPs demanded he do so.
"What did Rishi Sunak say to Narendra Modi about the case and how did he respond? Without answers to these questions, the prime minister's talk is meaningless."
