SC to hear plea against Sonam Wangchuk's "illegal" NSA detention Monday

  • SC to hear wife's plea challenging Sonam Wangchuk's detention under the National Security Act (NSA) on Monday.
  • Gitanjali J Angmo, Wangchuk's wife, filed the plea, terming his detention "illegal" and an "arbitrary exercise violating his fundamental rights."
  • The plea argues the detention order is based on "stale FIRs, vague imputations, and speculative assertions" lacking legal justification.
  • Wangchuk was detained under the NSA on September 26, following violent protests in Leh, with the government accusing him of inciting the unrest.

Why It Matters: This case questions arbitrary detention under NSA, affecting civil liberties.
