Gitanjali J. Angmo, the wife of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, has appealed to President Droupadi Murmu for her intervention in securing his release from custody. Wangchuk has been detained in Jodhpur jail in Rajasthan since September 24, 2025, following violent clashes in Ladakh.

In a three-page letter addressed to the President, Angmo alleges a "witch-hunt" against her husband, claiming he is being targeted for championing the cause of the people of Ladakh over the past four years. She expressed that she is completely unaware of her husband's current condition. Angmo's letter questions whether advocating against reckless and unchecked development in Ladakh's ecologically fragile environment is a crime.

Angmo is urging for Wangchuk's unconditional release, emphasizing his dedication to serving the nation and the people of Ladakh. She argues that Wangchuk is not a threat to anyone and has dedicated his life to serving the "brave sons of soil of Ladakh" and stands in solidarity with the Indian Army in defense of the nation. She also highlighted Wangchuk's work in building shelters for Indian Army officers and jawans.

Angmo has criticized the treatment of Wangchuk as "illegal" and "deplorable". She also voiced concerns about being under surveillance by CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) and the detention of two members of the Himalayan Institute of Alternative Learning. Wangchuk's detention under the National Security Act is reportedly linked to protests advocating for Ladakh's statehood and its inclusion in the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution.
