Supreme Court asks if Centre can reconsider Sonam Wangchuk’s detention on health grounds

The Supreme Court questioned the government's decision to detain climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, citing his poor health condition and asking if re-evaluation is possible. The court heard arguments from Additional Solicitor General K.M. Nataraj, who argued that Wangchuk's provocative speeches led to violence in Leh in 2025, justifying the detention under the National Security Act (NSA). The court is currently reviewing a plea filed by Wangchuk's wife against his detention.
