Sonam Wangchuk’s Wife Moves Supreme Court to Challenge NSA Detention

She seeks relief from preventive detention ordered after deadly Ladakh protests.

Overview

  • The petition follows her letters to the President, Prime Minister, Home Minister, Law Minister, and the Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh demanding his immediate release.
  • Leh Police arrested Wangchuk on September 26 under the National Security Act after unrest that left at least four people dead and more than 90 injured.
  • He was subsequently transferred to Jodhpur Central Jail in Rajasthan.
  • Authorities claim he incited mob violence through “provocative statements,” a charge he rejects.
  • The Union Home Ministry revoked the FCRA licence of his NGO SECMOL, while his wife condemned efforts to label him “anti-national” as a “witch-hunt.”
