India, Sept. 27 -- Climate activist and Magsaysay Award winner Sonam Wangchuk was flown to Jodhpur from Leh, where he was detained by police on Friday under the National Security Act (NSA).

The arrest was made two days after 'Gen Z'-led violent protests demanding Ladakh's statehood broke out in the region, which left at least four people dead and several others injured.

On September 10, Sonam Wangchuk and the Leh Apex Body started a fast, over demand for Ladakh's inclusion under the Constitution's sixth schedule and statehood.

Wangchuk currently remains in a detention facility in Jodhpur. Visuals from news agency PTI showed the facility.
