Wangchuk was detained under the National Security Act on an order of the District Magistrate, Leh, which the Home Ministry later said was issued with a view to maintaining public order. Officials said he was detained before a news briefing he was due to hold, and he was moved to Jodhpur Central Jail. On 24 September the Home Ministry had said the mob was incited by his provocative statements; Wangchuk denied the accusations. He had called off his hunger strike that day, saying violence 'only damages our cause'. [6][4][3][2][5][1]
