- Detention Information: Wangchuk was detained on September 26, 2025, adhering to violent protests in Leh, causing casualties.
- Lawful Context: The Supreme Court was hearing a habeas corpus petition challenging his apprehension.
- Federal government Stance: At first, the federal government declared Wangchuk “initiated” agitation, now looks for “positive engagement.”
