New Delhi, Oct 3 :

The wife of renowned climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, Gitanjali Angmo, has approached the Supreme Court demanding his immediate release following his detention under the National Security Act (NSA).

As per news agency Kashmir News Corner — KNC, In her petition filed through advocate Sarvam Ritam Khare, Angmo has challenged the legality of the detention and questioned the invocation of the stringent NSA against her husband. She also alleged procedural violations, stating that she has not been provided a copy of the detention order, as mandated by law, and has had no contact with him since his arrest.

The plea urges the apex court to intervene and secure Wangchuk’s release at the earliest.

Meanwhile, the Ladakh administration has dismissed allegations of targeting Wangchuk, rejecting claims of a “witch-hunt” or “smokescreen operation.”

Wangchuk was detained on September 26, two days after violent protests in Ladakh over demands for statehood and inclusion under the Sixth Schedule led to four deaths and left 90 injured. He is currently lodged in Jodhpur Jail, Rajasthan. (KNC)
