Jammu: In fast-turning developments, climate activist-cum-education reformist Sonam Wangchuk was on Friday arrested under the stringent National Security Act (NSA), two days after violent protests over statehood and constitutional safeguards under the Sixth Schedule left four persons, including an ex-serviceman, dead and over 90 injured in Ladakh.

Wangchuk, who was scheduled to address a press conference in Leh later in the day, was picked up from his village by a team of Ladakh Police led by DGP S. D. Singh Jamwal and immediately shifted to Jodhpur jail in Rajasthan.
