Wife Claims Activist Wangchuk Under Hospital Surveillance; Police Yet to Comment
In a social media post that has drawn attention, Gitanjali, the wife of activist Sonam Wangchuk, shared a photograph from a hospital and claimed that her husband is under constant vigil. The post, published on Wednesday, depicts Wangchuk in a hospital bed with what appears to be security personnel visible in the background.
Gitanjali wrote: "Cops everywhere. He is not allowed to speak freely even in the hospital." The claim has sparked concerns among supporters, but authorities have not issued an official response. Local police officials declined to comment when contacted, citing ongoing protocols.
Wangchuk, known for his environmental and educational activism in Ladakh, was admitted to the hospital earlier this week for a routine check-up following a fast. The nature of the alleged surveillance remains unclear.
This development occurs amid heightened scrutiny of activists in the region. However, independent verification of the wife's claim is pending. The hospital administration has also not released a statement.
We will continue to follow this story as more information becomes available.
