The bodies of the two civilians, who were killed on September 24 during street protests in Ladakh, were cremated in Leh on Sunday (September 28, 2025), with only close relatives allowed to attend the last rites.
Ladakh Lieutenant Governor Kavinder Gupta held a security review meeting, which was attended by top officials.
Four civilians died, and around 90 were injured as protesters, supporting demands for Statehood and Sixth Schedule status, clashed with security forces.
Mr. Gyalson, a BJP leader, also joined the voices demanding an inquiry into the violence that broke out on September 24 in Leh.
“I have written to Lieutenant Governor Kavinder Gupta and demanded an inquiry into the provocations that resulted in violence and also a probe into indiscriminate use of force against protesters,” Mr. Gyalson said.
