Congress Councilor Phuntsog Stanzin Tsepag has been charged over the massive violence in Ladakh yesterday, for which the government has blamed climate activist Sonam Wangchuk and his provocative speeches. At least four protesters died while 90 others suffered injuries during the unrest.
After the violence, curfew was imposed in Leh district. The Indo-Tibetan Border Police was deployed to maintain law and order, alongside the CRPF and local police. Restrictions have been imposed in Kargil in the wake of a shutdown call for statehood and constitutional safeguards for Ladakh.
