New Delhi, 3 October (IANS) Sonam Wangchuk’s wife Gitanjali J. Angmo has carried forward a writ petition before challenging the custody of the Supreme Court’s Leh-based climate activist.
Angmo said in a post on a social media platform, “I have sought relief from the Supreme Court of India through a prisoner corpus petition against Sonam Wangchuk.
The Union Home Ministry blamed Sonam Wangchuk for inciting violence in Leh Town.
Wangchuk was on hunger strike from September 10, and when the violence started in the city, he broke his fast and ran away from the spot in an ambulance.
The worker was later detained under the National Security Act (NSA) and transferred to Jodhpur Jail in Rajasthan. Both Leh Apex Body (LAB) and Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA), leading the movement for the state and UT’s inclusion in the 6th schedule, demanded unconditional release of Sonam Wangchuk and all others were detained on 24 September, in which four citizens were killed in addition to fixing responsibility for firing.
Four local people were identified as Jemet Dorje of Kharank, Rinchen Dadul of Hanu, Stanzin Namgel of Igu and Tswang Tharatin of Scarbucha.
The UT administration has ensured that the security forces had to set fire to self -defense when uncontrolled protesters teased stones and tortured a CRPF vehicle with the intention of burning the jawan inside the vehicle.
The mob also tortured the local BJP office and the laboratory office, while the vehicle of DGP SD Singh Jamwal was demolished, and the police chief escaped with injuries.
Meanwhile, the Citizen Samaj Group continues to demand a peaceful resolution for the release of Wangchuk and the political demands of Ladakh.
