Gitanjali Angmo, Wangchuk's wife and co-founder of the Himalayan Institute of Alternatives Ladakh (HIAL), has written to the President of India, Prime Minister of India, Home Minister, Law Minister of India, and the LG of Ladakh about the “detention” of her husband. In her letter, Gitanjali Angmo alleged that she has had no contact with Sonam Wangchuk since his “detention under the NSA.”
