AAP leader says police booked him for protest for Wangchuk
New Delhi (PTI): AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj on Monday claimed that he was booked by police for taking out a candle march in support of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk.
The Delhi Aam Aadmi Party president said he was booked even though the case against Wangchuk had ended.
"This new case has been registered for a candle march is registered for a candle light March at Jantar Mantar on the day Wangchuk was arrested," he said, terming it a "fake" case.
The Delhi Police was yet to respond to the allegation.
Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court disposed of a plea by Wangchuk's wife against the detention of the activist under the National Security Act (NSA).
A bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and PB Varale noted that the Centre had revoked its order of Wangchuk's detention on March 14, and there was nothing left in the matter.
Wangchuk was detained on September 26 last year, two days after the protests over demands for statehood for Ladakh and its inclusion under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution rocked Leh.
More than 45 people, including 22 policemen, were injured in the protests.
