Activist Sonam Wangchuk’s wife, Gitanjali J Angmo, on Wednesday wrote to President Droupadi Murmu seeking his “unconditional release”, five days after he was arrested in Leh.
Wangchuk was arrested on September 26, two days after four persons were killed in police firing during protests seeking statehood for Ladakh.
The police firing and violence broke out on Wednesday during protests demanding statehood for Ladakh and its inclusion in the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution. Demonstrators clashed with and threw stones at the police, and set fire to the Bharatiya Janata Party office and a police vehicle.
