Hearing the habeas corpus petition of Wangchuk's wife Gitanjali Angmo (Gitanjali J. Angmo v. Union of India, W.P.(Crl.) No. 399/2025), a Supreme Court bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and P.B. Varale told the Centre it was 'reading too much into' a speech in which Wangchuk worried that young people were moving away from non-violent methods, and asked it to show a proximate link to the 24 September violence. Additional Solicitor General K.M. Nataraj argued that the test was the potential of his words to disturb public order; Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said Wangchuk should not be compared with Mahatma Gandhi. [1][2]
