- •Kapil Sibal argued against Sonam Wangchuk's NSA detention in the Supreme Court, citing a blatant violation of Article 22.
- •Sibal played a video in court where Wangchuk appealed for peace, alleging police deliberately concealed it from evidence.
- •He claimed police ignored Wangchuk's peace message, relying only on videos portraying him negatively to justify the arrest.
