Police sources said those detained, including Wangchuk, have been taken to Alipore and other police stations bordering the city.

Rahul’s attack on PM Modi
On the detention of Sonam Wangchuk, Rahul Gandhi has directly attacked PM Modi in his post on Twitter. Rahul Gandhi said- It is unacceptable to detain Sonam Wangchuk ji and hundreds of Ladakhis who were marching peacefully for environment and constitutional rights. Why are the elders who are standing for the future of Ladakh being detained on the Delhi border? Modi ji, like the farmers, this cycle will also be broken and your ego will also be broken. You have to listen to the voice of Ladakh.
