Overview

• Ladakh’s information department said Wangchuk was detained under the National Security Act and moved to a Rajasthan prison, citing his references to the Arab Spring and Nepal agitations as incitement.
• Leh remains under curfew-like restrictions with mobile internet suspended after September 24 clashes that left four people dead and many injured, with arson reported at government and BJP offices.
• A day earlier, the Home Ministry cancelled SECMOL’s FCRA licence with immediate effect over alleged violations, including a Swedish grant it deemed against the national interest.
• Central agencies have opened probes into the Himalayan Institute of Alternatives Ladakh, while related administrative actions such as land-allotment cancellations are being pursued.
• Opposition leaders condemned the detention and called for dialogue, as Ladakhi groups signal talks with the Centre on October 6 following funerals for those killed.
