Leh, Sep 27: Ladakh Director General of Police S D Singh Jamwal on Saturday said Sonam Wangchuk is being probed for allegedly having links with Pakistan on the back of last month’s arrest of a Pakistani Intelligence Operative who sent videos of his protests across the border.
Jamwal described Wangchuk as the key person behind Wednesday’s violence that claimed the lives of four people and injured scores of others. On Friday, Wangchuk was detained under National Security Act and sent to a jail in Jodhpur in Rajasthan.
“What has been found in the investigation (against Wangchuk) cannot be disclosed at this moment. The process is going on and if you look at his profile and history, it is all available on YouTube. His speech worked as instigation as he talked about the Arab spring and the recent unrest in Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.
“He had his own agenda. There is a probe of foreign funding, violation of FCRA against him . We have a PIO with us who was reporting across the border, sending videos of the protests led by Wangchuk.
The police chief also cited some of Wangchuk’s foreign visits, and termed them as suspicious. “He attended an event by The Dawn in Pakistan and also visited Bangladesh,” Jamwal told reporters here. (PTI)
