Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk’s wife, Geetanjali J Angmo, has moved the Supreme Court, challenging his detention and seeking his release. The activist was detained following the September 24 violent protests in Leh as protestors seeking statehood for Ladakh clashed with cops. Wangchuk's wife also reached out to President Droupadi Murmu on Wednesday seeking her intervention for her husband's release. Alleging a "witch-hunt" against her husband, Wangchuk's wife wrote a three-page letter to the President, saying she is unaware of his condition. She also called Wangchuk's detention "illegal" and said that she was informed about it by a station house officer.
