Delhi Police detained Sonam Wangchuk and about 120 others from Ladakh at the Singhu border on the night of 30 September 2024, during their 'Delhi Chalo Padyatra', citing the prohibitory order, and took them to police stations including Bawana, Narela Industrial Area and Alipur. PTI reported, citing police, that they were released late on 1 October and detained again when they insisted on marching into central Delhi. On 3 October Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the Delhi High Court they had been set free; the petitioners' counsel Prashant Bhushan disputed that they were fully free. [1][2][3]
