Delhi Police Used White Sheets, Jammers in Wangchuk Transfer

Delhi Police used white sheets and planned network jammers to move activist Sonam Wangchuk to a government hospital after his health declined, officials said. The operation followed court orders and medical advice for his care.

Police aimed to prevent large gatherings and viral videos of the transfer. Security was intensified around Jantar Mantar and the hospital after the event.

Wangchuk was moved from a protest site where he had been on a hunger strike demanding action on climate change and development in Ladakh. His condition deteriorated over several days, prompting the court-ordered transfer.
