Overview
- Sonam Wangchuk was detained under the National Security Act on Friday and moved to Jodhpur Central Jail two days after unrest in Leh.
- S D Singh Jamwal alleged Wangchuk’s speeches helped instigate Wednesday’s protest violence, which left four people dead and about 90 injured.
- Ladakh Police say a Pakistani PIO was arrested for sending protest videos across the border, and two more people have been detained during the inquiry.
- Officials say probes cover foreign travel and possible FCRA violations, including scrutiny of events Wangchuk attended in Pakistan and Bangladesh and funding linked to his organisations.
- Authorities allowed a four-hour curfew relaxation in Leh on Saturday as security remained tight, while regional political leaders denounced the detention as unjust.
