Overview

• Wangchuk was detained under the National Security Act on September 26 and moved to Jodhpur Central Jail after Leh protests over statehood and Sixth Schedule turned violent, leaving four dead and many injured.
• A bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and N. V. Anjaria is listed to take up Gitanjali Angmo’s habeas corpus plea on Monday, according to the Supreme Court causelist and multiple reports.
• Angmo says neither she nor her husband has been served the detention order or allowed contact, and she alleges surveillance and harassment of staff linked to HIAL.
• The Ladakh administration defends the detention as necessary, alleging Wangchuk’s speeches incited the unrest and stating the grounds of detention were served; the Lieutenant Governor says the action is evidence-based.
• Authorities have also acted against his organisations, with SECMOL’s FCRA licence revoked and HIAL’s land registration cancelled, as regional groups press for detainees’ release and accountability for the September 24 deaths.
