Ladakhi activist Sonam Wangchuk said on Tuesday (March 17, 2026) that he was “bundled and thrown into jail” with no communication with his family and legal team for almost ten days.
Mr. Wangchuk was released from Jodhpur Central Jail on Saturday (March 14, 2026), after the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) revoked with “immediate effect” his 170-day detention under the National Security Act (NSA). He was detained under the provisions of the National Security Act (NSA) last year after police took action against his protest demanding Statehood and Sixth Schedule status for the Union Territory of Ladakh.
